Bonner Community Scholarship
The Bonner Community Scholars are a diverse group of students who share a common desire and commitment—to work as part of a team (of students, staff, and community members) that strives to improve the quality of life in the Trenton area. This four-year student and community development program provide students with opportunities to enhance their own skills while promoting positive change and social justice. In return, Bonner students receive an annual scholarship which can cover from 50 to 100 percent of the cost of in-state tuition (financial need may be considered). Participation in the program includes community service (300 hours per year), as well as co-curricular and curricular opportunities that develop students’ skills as citizens and community leaders. These scholarships are only available to citizens or permanent residents of the United States and first-year applicants.
