THE NEWARK BRONZE SHIELDS, INC.

SCHOLARSHIP APPLICATION

 

This is the time of year when high school seniors are making critical decisions about their future.  In addition to completing that final year of high school, the next chapter of life is a major area of focus.  This next chapter often includes preparing for college and figuring out how to pay for the associated expenses.  The Newark Bronze Shields would like to help relieve some of the financial burden by awarding ten $1000 scholarships to Newark Public School high school seniors.  The scholarship awards are funded through charitable contributions from Newark police officers and the Newark community.  The organization hosted its annual Scholarship Dinner Dance in February 2014 to help raise monies towards funding these scholarships and is proud to present ten deserving students this opportunity.

 

ABOUT US

 

The Newark Bronze Shields is the African-American police officers association within the Newark Police Department.  The organization was founded in 1959 by a group of African-American Police Officers who were battling racial discrimination within the Newark Police Department.  One of the founding members, Floyd Bostic, is still a member and serves as our guiding light for today's organization.  We are a non-profit organization committed to serving the citizens of Newark, New Jersey as well as the African-American community abroad.  We are focused on improving the quality of life within the community by engaging in youth programs, fundraisers to benefit the less fortunate, and providing scholarships for college-bound students.  We are also charged with the responsibility of the recruitment and retention of African-American Police Officers in the City of Newark and abroad.
