At iLearn Schools, we believe in fostering the potential of every student and ensuring they have the resources to pursue their dreams beyond high school.
That is why we are thrilled to announce the return of the iScholar Program, a scholarship initiative designed to support graduating seniors from our Bergen, Passaic, and Paterson high schools.

The Impact of iScholar
Over the past three years, the iScholar Program has awarded 45 scholarships totaling $90,000.
This financial support has transformed the lives of our recipients, helping them pursue their academic and career goals while also boosting their confidence in their abilities.
For many students, including Passaic ASCS graduate and current Alumni Liaison Jimmy Zarate, iScholar provided more than just financial relief—it was a vote of confidence in his potential. Initially, Jimmy doubted whether he was “good enough” to receive the scholarship. But applying for and ultimately earning this iScholar scholarship changed his perspective.
The financial assistance gave him the confidence to take his next steps in higher education, reinforcing his belief in himself and his future. To hear more about Jimmy Zarate’s iScholar story, please feel free to read his blog post.
That means 45 students have received critical support to help them achieve their goals—and you could be next!
Higher education is an exciting yet expensive journey. The iScholar Program is designed to help ease the financial stress students and their families face when planning for college.
By providing this scholarship, we hope to empower more students to focus on their studies and aspirations rather than financial limitations.
