Organization Overview

Organization Overview
The Deshon Johnson College Scholarship Foundation is a nonprofit agency providing scholarship support for Montclair High School Students who will be attending Montclair State University, Kean University or Essex County College. The scholarship candidate must choose a question from one of the given topics that are provided on DJCSF blog and write a 250-word essay. Additionally, the candidate will have to fill out an application which will be followed up with an interview by the DJCSF committee board. 

We partake periodically in a few small events to raise money and seek assistance from our donors for our candidates. Also, every year on March 5th DJCSF will host a big annual DJCSF Banquet Fundraiser Dinner to raise money that will help support our candidate for their college milestone. Along with recognizing our former scholarship honoree and nominate/honoring our committed donors who supported the organization. Please check our blog on our event page or facebook page for location, time, and donations.

We provide a nurturing support group for parents who lost their children. We have a safety awareness group to raise awareness about the high-risk death with an innocent pedestrian by public transportation within our surroundings cause by some reckless bus driver. The community outreach volunteers’ will form partnerships with local school districts and other business to help up us to meet DJCSF mission statement goals.

Our committee has affectionate volunteers with love, understanding, and compassion that will oversee our bereaved session. We focus on positive reinforcement, trust-building, and the achievement of goals, by the engaging participant in group conversation and outings in the community for our parents.  Every year on September 30th, we will have an annual fundraiser dinner event for our parents to honor their children. Please check our blog on our event page or facebook page for location, time, and price.

The support group will meet at Montclair’s Library six times out of a month. Please contact us at 201-259-0381, email us at djcscholarshipfoundation@gmail.com or check our blog for the upcoming meeting dates and time.
