Joan L. Jacobson, a member of The New School Board of Governors, has joined the Charlotte W. Newcombe Foundation in providing scholarship support for students in The New School for General Studies Adult Bachelor’s Program. In endowing the Jacobson/Newcombe Scholarship for Mature Women Students, Jacobson and the Newcombe Foundation join together to support adult women working towards their bachelor’s degree.

Also renewing its support of scholarships in the 2009–2010 academic year, the Bernard Osher Foundation has again enabled the bachelor’s program to offer support for 10 promising adult students returning—after a break of five or more years—to complete their undergraduate degree.

These scholarships are instrumental in helping students complete their degree and pursue their goals as they balance work, family, and their educational and professional aspirations.
