Emergency Fund for Newark Students | Community Foundation of New Jersey Wilhelmina Holder Student Assistance Emergency Fund Nurturing the brilliance of Newark’s youth Wilhelmina Holder believed that we all have a role to play in changing the world around us.
As a Newark resident, education advocate, parent organizer, and co-director of an after-school college access and prep program, her no-nonsense and energizing approach made her a “community mom” to many. She encouraged those around her to live with purpose and nurtured the brilliance of Newark’s youth. In 2023, an emergency fund was created in honor of Wilhelmina’s life’s work.
It’s maintained, funded, and distributed by Newark residents who value and embody her spirit of aspiring to greatness through postsecondary success and uplifting the community through advocacy.
Emergency Support: This emergency fund focuses on Newark residents currently enrolled in postsecondary programs — including colleges, universities, and certification programs — who need assistance with daily and unexpected costs that financial aid doesn’t cover.
Covered costs include books, fees, transportation, food, etc., along with any unexpected emergencies that might derail students’ chances of earning a postsecondary degree or certificate. Application Process: If your home address is located in Newark, fill out a fund application . Applications are accepted on a rolling basis and awards are given four times a year in January, May, August, and November.
Students may apply for any amount up to $5,000 and must demonstrate a documented need. Donations : The fund is made possible through generous donations from Newark community members. A cash gift made with a credit card, check, or wire transfer is the simplest way to donate to the fund.
For questions or to donate, contact Lydia Gracey at lgracey@cfnj. org .
