Congratulations! You are an NJIT Highlander! The first in your family to go to college!

MONEY Magazine named NJIT the #1 University for return on investment in tuition vs. graduate starting salary.
The Princeton Review ranked NJIT among “The Best 384 Colleges” and also received honors as a top college in the Northeast region.
BestColleges.com ranked NJIT's online master’s program in electrical engineering ranked 14th in the nation.

Now that we got all of your school accolades out of the way, let's get back to something more important: you the student.

If there is one thing to know as a student at NJIT, it's that you are never alone.

There are a ton of organizations, student groups, mentors, departments, and resources (all free by the way) available to you and to your personal interests.

However, there is one organization whose sole focus is to help the student. First Fellows.

Our purpose is solely to connect you with the resources, mentors, and the keys to success.

We'll help you:

Understand NJIT policies and procedures.
Share any scholarship/financial aid information we have.
Connect you with Career Development Services so you can receive resume assistance, mock interview options, and much more career related assistance.
Guidance and a listening ear.

We will be sending emails with information on events, productivity tips, study hacks, discount codes, and pretty much anything you need to survive in college.

We wish you the best of luck this semester!
