Edelman Scholars

The Edelman Scholars program is designed to transform the lives of students who otherwise may not attend or graduate from college. The program provides support services, community-building, and experiential learning opportunities to foster lifelong success for majors within the Ric Edelman College of Communication & Creative Arts.

Unlike any other scholarship in the United States, the Edelman Scholars program also provides a $17,000 award upon timely graduation from Edelman CCCA to help launch students into post-graduate life.

As an Edelman Scholar you will receive:

Substantial scholarship aid toward the full cost of attendance (tuition, books, fees, board/meals)
Year-round, on-campus housing
Wrap-around support via Rowan’s student support services
Internship, work study, and community service opportunities
Professional development support
Participation in Edelman Scholars peer-mentoring program
Social events to foster connections within the Rowan community
Post-graduation Launch Funds

Eligibility and selection process

Available to incoming first-year students who have been accepted to Rowan University with a major in Edelman CCCA
Eligibility determined by financial need based on FAFSA and other data provided to the University
Eligible students will be invited to submit an application and brief essay
Finalists will be required to interview with the Edelman Scholars Selection Committee

Students will be invited to apply in March and awards will be announced by April 30th.

Meet the Edelman Scholars

Thanks to the $10 million endowment by Ric and Jean Edelman for student scholarships, we are pleased to announce this year's class of Edelman Scholars. These students were chosen based on the potential they demonstrate to contribute meaningfully to our college, and the Ric Edelman College of Communication & Creative Arts is proud to support these students in their academic careers and professional development.
