In 2015, the TCNJ Psychology Department created the Outstanding Research Scholar Award, later named the Noelle Skrobola Outstanding Research Scholar Award. Noelle was the first recipient of this award for her work with Dr. Jessica Barnack-Tavlaris. She was involved in research every semester starting her freshman year, co-authored multiple conference presentations, and received a research grant from Psi Chi for her Senior Honors Thesis.

Today, the Noelle Skrobola ’16 Research Scholar Award recognizes recipients with a monetary award every year for their research achievements in the TCNJ Psychology Department.
