The CarePlus Foundation Scholarship was created to recognize individuals for their outstanding courage, dedication, and commitment to furthering their education. The 2024 recipients, who have experienced chronic mental illness, emotional and learning disabilities, familial discord, 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. Your donation to the CarePlus Foundation directly supports these deserving individuals, empowering them to achieve their academic and professional goals. Thank you for your contribution to their journey towards brighter futures.
The Joseph Masciandaro Scholarship honors the ambition and dedication of our staff by awarding one deserving employee with support for their pursuit of an advanced degree or professional certification. Recognizing the shared aspiration for continued growth among our team, the IDEA Committee initiated the Scholarship to champion the educational and professional advancement of our hardworking staff. Each year, we take pride in acknowledging and assisting our employees as they strive to achieve their goals. Named in tribute to the enduring legacy of Joseph Masciandaro, former President and CEO Emeritus of CarePlus NJ, this scholarship symbolizes 45 years of visionary leadership and commitment to excellence.
