Working with Mercer County Community College, Rowan College of South Jersey, Rowan College at Burlington County and Ocean County College, Princeton University will offer select community the opportunity to take a Princeton accredited course, free of charge, hosted at a community college campus. Students selected to participate will have access to Princeton systems and academic support resources during the semester, and will be offered additional transfer support to help them plan and complete their transfer application process. Students will gain a Princeton transcript with the completion of their course to include as part of a compelling transfer application.

You will be able to nominate more than one student by filling out this form multiple times.
