The Coalition Scholarship Program
The NJCAHT's rolling scholarship program awards several scholarships to current high school seniors attending a college, university, or technical school in the Fall 2021 semester; to current college students; and to survivors of human trafficking (labor or sex trafficking) who are pursuing their GEDs or college. All recipients must be New Jersey based. For more information, contact info@safernj.org.
- This program is open to New Jersey-based trafficking survivors (sex or labor trafficked survivors of all genders) as well as graduating high school seniors and current college students with a strong record of advocating for human rights and standing against human trafficking.
- An essay is required (2 pages double spaced) reflecting upon and articulating how their education and future career goals will contribute to raising awareness/prevention of human trafficking, or survivor applicants may write about their hopes for the future after experiencing trafficking.
- A letter of recommendation is required from an educator or community leader familiar with the applicant's status as a trafficking survivor or familiar with the applicant’s experience in human rights and/or human trafficking advocacy and character.
- Online applications are accepted and awarded on a quarterly basis due March 31, June 30, September 30, and December 31.
- Late applications are not accepted. Applications will be reviewed, and recipients will be selected by a committee of NJCAHT members. Scholarships will be awarded in the month following the application deadline.
