Alfredo Santiago/LEAP College Scholarship Fund

The Rutgers University Alfredo Santiago Endowed Scholarship was established in 1999 by CLC Director Dr. Gloria Bonilla-Santiago in loving memory of her husband Alfredo Santiago and with the goal to increase the number of children in Camden who attend college.

The Scholarship provides financial assistance to LEAP Academy University Charter School graduates who enroll full-time at one of Rutgers University’s three campuses. In 2002, the Scholarship received a donation from TD Bank (formerly Commerce Bank) to create the TD Bank Alfredo Santiago Scholarship, which also supports students attending colleges outside Rutgers.
