Holden Family Scholarship
Virtual Tour
Douglas Holden and Jean Weng are the parents of a Ramapo alum, Austin, who graduated in 2023 and was enrolled in the College’s ENHANCE program. They also have two daughters. Over the span of many years, the Holdens have long-championed the cause of students with unique abilities.
In raising their family in northern New Jersey, the Holdens were already familiar with Ramapo College when Austin attended a campus program during high school. Ramapo became the only school to which Austin applied and the family is pleased with his progress and the College’s commitment to all of its students, both in and out of the classroom.
The purpose of the Holden Family Scholarship is to assist Ramapo students with special needs in meeting tuition expenses, which can be compounded by costs associated with their special needs.
- Candidacy for the Holden Family Scholarship will be based on the following criteria:
- Full-time enrollment at Ramapo College with sophomore, junior, or senior status.
- Registered in the Office of Specialized Services.
- Candidates must submit a one-page essay describing what has been the most difficult part of their disability to overcome in order to find success in college.
- GPA of 3.0 or higher.
Scholarship application is closed for this semester.
