Ridgewood NJ, College Club of Ridgewood, founded in 1913 and incorporated in 1922, is a 501(c)(3) organization that helps fund educational opportunities for young women and men through a variety of need-based grants and interest-free loans.
The Club is made up of some 250 members who choose to continue an educational emphasis in their lives. College Club presents members with opportunities to keep informed of educational developments through a published newsletter, forums, and discussion groups.
Members are encouraged to participate in a variety of fundraising activities such as the Book Fair, Author Events, and College Capers. Funds raised at these events, combined with the generosity of our many benefactors, make possible advanced education for college students through grants-in-aid and a student loan fund.
