The CarePlus Foundation Scholarship

The CarePlus Foundation Scholarship was created to recognize individuals for their outstanding courage, dedication, and commitment to furthering their education. The 2023 recipients, who have experienced chronic mental illness, emotional and learning disabilities, family conflict, financial limitations, and other obstacles, are committed to moving forward with their lives through education. The scholarship will help support this year’s recipients in pursuing their educational and professional goals. When you donate to the CarePlus Foundation, your generosity is gratefully received by these individuals who work to advance their education and brighten their future. The educational scholarships would not be possible without your continued support.

Fund

The Joseph Masciandaro Fund Scholarship is awarded to one deserving employee to further their education to earn advanced degrees or certifications. The award is named in honor of former CarePlus NJ President and CEO Emeritus, Joseph Masciandaro’s 45-year legacy. This recognizes outstanding staff members pursuing educational or professional goals. Through the IDEA Committee, we discovered many of our staff had a desire to pursue higher education and professional development. Each year, we are proud to recognize and support our hard working staff in reaching their professional goals.
