2023 ROPE Award Recipients


The Robert and Janice McNair Educational Foundation recently announced the recipients of the 2023 ROPE (Reaching for One’s Potential for Excellence) Award. 46 seniors from Chase High School, 48 seniors from East Rutherford High School, and 60 seniors from R-S Central High School were selected to receive the ROPE Award this year, receiving a total of $1,310,000.

The ROPE Award is given annually to students who have taken challenging classes, made good grades, served the community, demonstrated upstanding character at school and in the community, and overcome obstacles to reach for their potential. ROPE Award recipients are selected by the ROPE Award Teacher Advisory Council consisting of teachers from the high school and feeder middle and elementary schools.


To be eligible to apply for the ROPE Award, students must maintain a 3.0 weighted grade point average (GPA), meet the University of North Carolina system’s admissions requirements, make at least a 1080 on the SAT or 19 on the ACT, or take a combination of the tests 2 times. They must also provide a minimum of 70 service learning hours to the community. Students can begin working towards the eligibility requirements the summer prior to their freshman year in high school.

The Foundation held a celebration to honor the 2023 ROPE Award recipients on Thursday, April 27. In addition to being recognized at the celebration and receiving a certificate, ROPE Award recipients are also eligible for financial aid of up to $8,000 for up to four years of postsecondary education.
