Tepper says he wants to ensure that students and families at JCSU who have been hit hard during the COVID-19 pandemic don’t suffer further hardship by not having funds to continue school.
With the donation, some 70 returning students who demonstrate financial need will receive scholarship funds. The David and Nicole Tepper Scholarship at JCSU will provide deserving minority students access to a high quality and affordable college education.
All of the funds will be used to help students return for the 2020-2021 academic year.
