Princeton Theological Seminary

Princeton Theological Seminary is a professional and graduate school of the Presbyterian Church (USA). The Seminary stands within the Reformed tradition, which shapes its instruction, research, practical training, and continuing education as well
as the theological scholarship it promotes. Princeton Seminary embraces in its life and work a rich racial and ethnic diversity and the breadth of communions represented in the worldwide church. It offers its theological scholarship in service to God’s renewal of the church’s life and mission, and it seeks to engage Christian faith with intellectual, political, and economic life in pursuit of truth, justice, compassion, and peace.

Men and women from across the nation and around the world come to Princeton Theological Seminary every year to pursue ministry as a vocation. Students come from West Virginia and West Africa, Korea and New York, Ireland and Texas; they are
black, white, Native American, Asian, Hispanic, young, middle-aged, and older adults—each committed in ministry to Jesus Christ and the church.

Princeton Theological Seminary has a student body of approximately 800. Students from more than 30 different countries and 40 Christian denominations study at Princeton Seminary in five degree programs: Master of Divinity, Master of Arts, Master of Theology, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Ministry. The institution also offers dual-degree programs that award both the Master of Divinity and Master of Arts in either youth ministry or Christian education.

The Seminary has 50 full-time faculty members, most ordained ministers, and one of the largest theological research libraries in the world, with more than 500,000 books.
Archival treasures, including the most complete set of Dead Sea Scroll photographs in
the world, the second largest collection of Puritan writing in the United States, and an
extensive Latin American theological collection, are housed in Luce Library on the
Seminary’s picturesque campus.

Top High School Graduates in Line for Full Scholarships to UCC and Beyond

Since 2004, the NJ STARS program has offered free tuition to attend a community college to students who graduate in the top 20 percent of their high school classes. Since then, almost 3,000 students have taken advantage of the program statewide. Many using their scholarships to enroll in one of the more than 90 programs of study on the four campuses of Union County College. In January 2006, the NJ STARS scholarships took on even greater meaning, when “NJ STARS II” became law.

Under “STARS II,” NJ STARS who graduate from UCC with an associates degree and a 3.0 grade point average, may also be eligible to immediately continue their education tuition-free in a baccalaureate degree program at a four-year public institution in New Jersey.

Completing the first two years at Union County College and then transferring to another college to complete a bachelor’s degree, provides students a great educational foundation. And, with or without a scholarship, it is a tremendous cost saver. At UCC tuition for Union County residents is far less than half of that which even local four-year colleges are charging. More important, a national study has found that when community college graduates transfer to four-year colleges, they perform substantially better at those schools (i.e. earn a higher grade point average) than their fellow seniors who have attended that four-year college from the beginning of freshman year. With the
introduction of NJ STARS and, now, NJ STARS II, high-achieving students not only can save money, but also earn both their associates and bachelor’s degrees tuition free.

“The fact that the NJ STARS Scholarship is being offered to the academic cream of the crop to be used first for attendance at a community college is testament to the high quality of education that Union County College and our fellow community colleges provide,” said UCC President Thomas H. Brown. “Better yet, because continued
academic performance here will make NJ STARS recipients eligible to receive fully-paid tuition to earn a bachelor’s degree at one of New Jersey’s excellent four-year institutions, application to the NJ STARS program is a must for every high school
graduate to consider.”
