2021 Rutgers Giving Day – RAAA Participates for the 2nd year

The RAAA  Rites of Passage Scholarship is awarded to a Rutgers undergrad continuing their graduate education at Rutgers University. This scholarship currently stipulates that an award will be provided to (1) graduate for each of the three campuses.  The newly created RAAA Nasir R. Shakir Memorial Scholarship Fund will be administered by M.E.E.T./School of Engineering under the direction of Dean Ilene Rosen (Honorary Lifetime Member of RAAA).

The RAAA Nasir R. Shakir Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in remembrance and reflection of Nasir’s generous spirit. He mentored many of the young Black men and women he encountered. He also supported and sponsored Black college students through the National Society of Black Engineers as a means to pay forward the guidance and support his mentor, Dean Donald Brown at Rutgers University, gave to him. As he was an Engineering and EOF student as well as very active in the MEET/NSBE organization at Rutgers, the scholarship is directed towards undergraduate students in these spaces.
