The Polish University Club of New Jersey was originally conceived in 1928 by a small group of Polish-American college graduates, who formed a club known as the Polish Collegiate Club. The Club has always taken pride in supporting young adults who are striving for higher education and in 1941 awarded its first scholarship. Since that time, more than 500 scholarships have been awarded.
