Valued at $1,500 per academic year, the Excellence in Diversity Scholarship Award is presented to one minority, female or student with a disability pursuing a bachelor’s degree at an accredited college or university. Antonucci was chosen among 263 applicants statewide.

“New Jersey’s investor-owned utilities recognize the raw talent available in the state’s future workforce. Providing promising students with scholarships to fulfill their higher education goals is just one small part of an overall effort to further enhance these skills,” said Andrew Hendry, NJUA President and Chief Executive Officer.
