The Mattie K Peterson Higher Education Scholarship is funded by Michael Peterson and aims to honor the life of Mattie K Peterson, a beloved wife and mother who was deeply involved in her community. The scholarship supports female undergraduate students from New Jersey who have demonstrated community service experience or church involvement and maintain a GPA of 3.5 or higher. By providing financial assistance, the scholarship seeks to empower students who are active members of their communities, reflecting the spirit of giving that Mattie embodied.
