About S/PA

For over thirty years, S/PA has supported motivated urban high school students at private Catholic high schools in New Jersey’s Essex, Hudson, and Union counties. S/PA is unique among Northern New Jersey scholarship organizations because we provide both tuition assistance and mentoring support for urban youth. This pairing of financial and personal support has resulted in a 100% high school graduation and 100% enrollment in college, post-secondary school or the armed services for S/PA students over the past ten academic years.
