Your donations provide collegiate scholarships and other financial support to young men and women in New Jersey who plan to serve their country in a military or a first responder role who have demonstrated their commitment to Ryan's core values of devotion, hard work, and empathy. 

Even though ROTC pays for some tuition, there are a lot of other expenses that aren’t covered for these determined young leaders including:

• Uniforms

• Fees

• Books

• Transportation to military field exercises 

• Housing for students who travel to events

These expenses often require that families take out loans with high interest rates. We want to break down financial barriers so that these young people can successfully achieve their mission of serving their country and local communities. Your support will help them to have a debt-free future. 

We’re also looking forward to someday fulfilling our vision of supporting honest, hard-working veterans of strong moral character who need help in achieving a goal of becoming police officers or other first responders. 

With grit, determination, and your support, we’ll get there - as Ryan would have wanted.
