#RUCareerReady Free Tuition Challenge
The #RUCareerReady Free Tuition Challenge is a campus-wide initiative where students earn stamps through participation in programs, courses, and experiences—working toward a chance to win free tuition and other prizes. By participating, your programs become part of a coordinated, campus-wide experience that increases engagement and connects students more intentionally to their career development.
Why This Matters
Whether you lead a course, workshop, mentoring program, or student organization, your work already contributes to student career readiness. The #RUCareerReady Free Tuition Challenge helps connect that work into a shared campus experience—expanding your reach, increasing student engagement, and strengthening your impact.
For Rutgers
Creates a more connected student experience
Enables shared measurement of engagement and outcomes

For Your Programs
Increase visibility and student participation
Attract students who are actively seeking stamp-eligible opportunities

A Connected Campus Experience
This initiative does not replace existing programs—connects and amplifies them across the campus. Your work remains your own, while becoming part of a coordinated, campus-wide effort that helps students navigate their career journey more intentionally.
By participating, you help create a more seamless student experience where programs across Rutgers build upon one another rather than exist in isolation. You also help advance a shared language for career readiness that makes it easier for students to understand how their experiences connect to future goals.
