The Philadelphia Inquirer cited Columbia High School in a story about a new Rutgers-related scholarship offering:


Rutgers University will try to entice New Jersey's best and brightest to stay in-state with a new undergraduate merit scholarship that president Robert L. Barchi announced Monday.

The Henry Rutgers Merit Scholarship will be awarded to 100 undergraduates a year for each of the next four years in an attempt to reduce the flow of more than 30,000 students who leave the Garden State annually for college elsewhere. The scholarships will be available to freshmen entering in the fall of 2014.


"These Henry Rutgers Merit Scholarships will enable us to attract high-achieving students and to raise the academic profiles of our entire undergraduate student body without affecting funding streams for current merit and need-based scholarships," Barchi said in a memorandum to the university community.


The scholarships - $6,000 a year for four years - are one of several measures unveiled Monday as "Initiatives for the First 100 Days of the University Strategic Plan."
