TCNJ Journal of Student Scholarship was first published in 1998 to provide a forum for outstanding research fostered by the collaboration of TCNJ students and faculty. The twenty-fourth volume of the Journal, scheduled to be published in electronic format in the spring of 2022, continues that tradition. Hoffman Prize Eligibility: Essays published in TCNJ Journal of Student Scholarship will be considered for the $1,500 Hoffman Prize, awarded annually to the student who writes the best essay published in the Journal.
