I received my acceptance package yesterday and today got an email about this. it says:

I am contacting you because you have been accepted to The College of New Jersey and are eligible to apply for a wonderful new merit scholarship program for incoming Biology or Open Options-Science students. It is called "Gateway to Graduate School in Biology."
I have sent a detailed letter to you in the mail about this opportunity, which you should receive in a few days. I also have attached it to this email. Please open the attachment now and read the letter.
You also will receive a second email with a link to the online application form. Look for it!
Don't ignore this great opportunity - it is worth $18,800 in scholarship money and will provide an unparalleled college experience over all four years

Anyone else get this or know anything about it?

You can read a little about it on their website

but I have not heard anything about it personally.
