Scholarship Program

Education is of the utmost importance — and should not be taken lightly.

The Gamma Nu Zeta Scholarship Fund provides financial assistance to young women pursuing admission into an accredited college or university who have demonstrated academic potential and a commitment to serving the Western Camden County community.

The Fund

A commitment kept, year after year.

Since 1920, Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc. has based its foundation on the ideals of Scholarship, Service, Sisterhood and Finer Womanhood.

In accordance with those ideals, Gamma Nu Zeta has made a commitment to assist young women in Western Camden County in the pursuit of higher education. Each award is applied directly to the accredited college or university of the applicant’s choice.

Award amounts range from $500 to $1,000 each, depending on funding.
