Big Brothers Big Sisters Awards 19 Scholarships in 2018

Big Brothers Big Sisters of Cumberland & Salem Counties is pleased to offer scholarships provided through private donations for youth involved in Big Brothers Big Sisters either as Little Brothers and Sisters or High School Big Brothers and Sisters.  We hope that those involved as Littles and Bigs in our mentoring programs will have learned valuable life lessons through these experiences that they will take with them on their next steps in life, whether that path take them to a college, university, trade school or other form of higher education.

Adrianna was 12 years old when she was matched to her Big Sister Kaitlin. After being matched for six years Adrianna is now off to start a new journey in College.

Shaquinta was matched to Big Sister Joy Todd for 10 years. Joy’s dedication to Shaquinta is extraordinary. Even though Joy moved out of state in 2016, she still wanted to be a part of Shaquinta’s life and asked that BBBS keep their match open. Shaquinta will now be attending Montclair State University in the Fall.
