About School Counts!

About the Scholarship:
If a student gets four consecutive School Counts! certificates (one per year for four years) they will be eligible to receive a two-year, tuition-free scholarship to Rowan College of South Jersey Cumberland.

How Does a Student Sign Up?
All incoming ninth-graders automatically are registered for the School Counts! program. All they have to do is meet the criteria to qualify for the yearly certificates. If a student does not meet the criteria one year they can still qualify for a certificate the following year, but they will not be eligible for the School Counts! scholarship. 

Questions?
Questions on CRHS student participation in the School Counts! program may be directed to the CRHS Counseling Office at 856-451-9400, ext. 229.
