William Paterson University of New Jersey Alumni Association

The William Paterson University Alumni Association awards scholarships to William Paterson University students who show academic excellence and demonstrate financial need. The Association also awards grants to University faculty and staff to enhance student activities, academic programs and student financial support. The Association maintains contact with nearly 87,000 Alumni by sponsoring reunions and special events, offering print and electronic communications, and marketing various social media platforms designed to meet the needs of its constituency and foster a sense of community.

The Alumni Association provides the University with funds in support of its areas of greatest need. A grant was made to the University to support the Alumni Association incentive grant. This program is designed to assist students with small outstanding balances on their student accounts to remain enrolled at William Paterson University by being given a grant to enable them to remain in school and earn their degree in a timelier fashion.
