The New Jersey Chapter of NAHRO (NJNAHRO) has been providing scholarship to New Jersey Housing Authority residents for many years. This year we are proud to announce that we have exceeded our expectations in awarding scholarships to our residents. We take great pride in utilizing a large stream of our annual revenue to support this worthwhile cause. Over the years, we have held golf outings and other endeavors to raise money for our scholarships. NJNAHRO was a moving force in organizing and creating the New Jersey Public Housing Authority Joint Insurance Fund. NJNAHRO works closely with the JIF to ensure solid membership, great coverage and excellent training. The revenue derived from the PHA JIF is also utilized to support our scholarship program. Our annual awards go directly to the student to be utilized for any purpose they may need in obtaining their educational goals.
NJNAHRO provides annual scholarships to eligible program participants who are either graduating from high school or are continuing their education in a later stage of life. Recipients of the awards may attend either college or a vocational school. The program also offers an internship program to expand employment opportunities throughout the housing industry. NJNAHRO’s Scholarship Program is a major commitment of the organization to make a difference in the life of many students throughout the state. The Scholarship Committee is comprised of Douglas Dzema, Executive Director of the Perth Amboy Housing Authority, Louis Riccio, CEO of HQM Properties and Joseph M. Billy, Executive Director of the Freehold Housing Authority. Chairperson Dzema noted, “In the last eight years, the fund has given out in excess of $250,000.00 in scholarships to deserving students and spent in excess of $20,000.00 for internships. It gives the Board great pleasure to assist with the education and employment of these individuals and enable them to achieve their goals.”
