Who Can Apply:
- The Bick New Jersey Scholarship was created to honor the spirit of perseverance, community, and hope that defines New Jersey, particularly Hudson County.

She believed in the strength and potential of young people and spent her life quietly supporting those in need, offering encouragement, mentorship, and helping students who might otherwise be overlooked.

Through this scholarship, her legacy lives on in the very city she loved by uplifting the next generation of Hoboken-area students.
