SJR Scholarship Initiative

TheBertolino SJR Scholarship Initiative is meant to provide opportunities--opportunities for philanthropic alumni, family and friends to support the next generation of Green Knights, and, more importantly, opportunities for prospective Green Knights to attend SJR by providing academic merit-based and/or financial need-based tuition assistance.

Scholarships are managed through the Advancement Office in partnership with the Business Office and the Admissions Office.

An endowed scholarship is a permanent legacy of support for future generations of Green Knights. An endowment may be established with a single gift, a gift fulfilled over five years, or a deferred (estate) gift. Once the endowment is fully funded, a portion of its annual earnings provides for scholarship support, while the principal is retained in perpetuity for future growth.
