Since 1953, the Independent College Fund of New Jersey has provided $74 million in support for New Jersey’s independent colleges and universities. The symposium, which exhibited 49 projects created by 57 students, provided research opportunities to undergraduate students and spectators. The funding , prioritized by new independent research projects, assists students who have been given the opportunity to develop their own scientific research.
The foundation for the symposium centers on the idea that research opportunities maintain student interest and continue student development.
