Wilbur Ray Student Scholarship Initiative

The Wilbur Ray Scholarship Initiative empowers outstanding students at Brookdale Community College by offering scholarships, delivering academic and student support services, and facilitating connections to further their degree studies and career pathways.

Named in memory of the late Sgt. Wilbur Ray, a devoted member of the Brookdale Community College police force and an active volunteer in Long Branch, the program celebrates the achievements of student scholars, promoting civic engagement and leadership.

By acknowledging and supporting our students’ academic endeavors, the program aims to inspire future leaders who will make meaningful contributions to their communities.
