Scholar Development
OSDFA team specializes in guiding individuals toward the opportunities that will accentuate their strengths, build their confidence, and cultivate new skills / awareness. Our team is committed to supporting students by identifying, through our priority awards and other resources, a clear process to advance their personal and professional aspirations. Whether you are seeking a new experience, support with a personal statement or CV, or assistance with general goal setting, OSDFA is here to guide you.
Knowing & Growing
We focus on helping our scholars uncover their “WHY” – or purpose – and determining their overall goals while at Rutgers – Camden and beyond. You may not know your “WHY” yet – and that’s okay! We’re here to help you begin exploring what matters to you & how your values can align with your future aspirations.
Whether you have identified your goal(s) and need support in finding an opportunity to apply your skills OR you’re still searching, OSDFA is ready to assist. Your profile strengthens with experience – both in applying for and securing opportunities.
OSDFA helps match students at any stage of their education and experience with transformative, experiential opportunities that support their development and future success. These may include: research programs, study abroad and language learning opportunities, leadership experiences, exposure to graduate training, community engagement, and so much more.
Moreover, our team will support you every step of the way in applying for awards and opportunities – everything from navigating eligibility, writing your statements, requesting letters of recommendation and more!
