HISTORY

In 1957, a small group of Teaneck citizens decided to begin the effort to raise money to help several high school seniors with their college expenses.  That first year, two college-bound graduating students from Teaneck High received a total of $500 in scholarship aid.

Over the years, the dedication of a large number of Teaneck volunteers has continued the tradition of raising funds through donations from local businesses, corporations, houses of worship, sports and civic organization, and many individual contributions to help the ever-growing number of students applying for financial help so they can fulfill their dreams of going to college.

In 2022, 49 Teaneck students from public and private schools received $108,925 in scholarships ranging from $1000 to $3800. Over 60 years of helping students achieve success, more than 3400 graduating Teaneck students have been helped with their college expenses.
