WHAT WE鈥橰E TALKING ABOUT
New Cohort of Engelberg Scholars Ready to Give Back to A.C.
Angelica Medrano applied for 91直播鈥檚 Engelberg Leadership Scholarship Program because she wants to be a part of something bigger than herself.
鈥淎tlantic City is a beautiful city, don鈥檛 get me wrong, but it does need a lot of improvement,鈥 said the sophomore Health Science major. 鈥淚t needs people to actively work and contribute toward making it better. I just want to give back to people. I want to be of use.鈥
That鈥檚 the core purpose of the leadership program, which was established in 2019 through a $1 million commitment to the 91直播 Foundation from Alfred Engelberg, a 1956 Atlantic City High School graduate who became a successful lawyer after receiving a generous scholarship from the Avoda organization.
Medrano is part of the seventh cohort of students selected for the 2025 program, which covers four 91直播 students鈥 full tuition, room, board, fees, books and other expenses beginning their sophomore year.

Brookdale President David Stout, who is a 91直播 alumnus. "Together, we are opening doors for our students by creating seamless pathways that lower costs, shorten time to degree and provide unique hands-on learning experiences like 91直播鈥檚 Live-Work-Learn program. These opportunities not only help our students achieve their academic goals but also prepare them to thrive in New Jersey鈥檚 workforce and communities.鈥
