About ICUNJ

ICUNJ has its roots in two separate but related organizations that share a mission to build support and awareness for independent higher education in New Jersey. The Independent College Fund of New Jersey (ICFNJ) was founded in 1953 as a cooperative effort involving business and academic leaders of New Jersey to broaden financial support for and awareness of independent higher education. The Association of Independent Colleges and Universities of New Jersey (AICUNJ) was founded in 1966 to collectively represent New Jersey's independent colleges and universities in the state legislature. These two organizations merged into a single non-profit organization, ICUNJ, in 2022 to build upon synergies and more efficiently and effectively advocate on behalf of the students served by independent colleges and universities in New Jersey.

The ICUNJ Board of Trustees is comprised of the 13 independent university Presidents plus four executives from the New Jersey corporate community who are members of the ICUNJ Board of Advisors. The organization is supported by these corporate leaders from across New Jersey. The offices of ICUNJ are in Trenton, New Jersey, and the staff currently has four employees in addition to the President.

ICUNJ’s Mission

The mission of the Independent Colleges and Universities of New Jersey is to advance the interests of New Jersey’s independent, non-profit, public mission, private institutions of higher education by promoting access, affordability, and student success through public policy advocacy, corporate philanthropy, strategic partnerships (including among the higher education institutions), and enabling the choice of the best fit for each student’s educational needs.
