A 1397 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Allows students to use certain grant awards during summer session.

This bill allows New Jersey students receiving tuition aid grants (TAG) or opportunity grants (EOF) to use a portion of their award for summer courses that count toward graduation or their major. Students must notify the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) or the Secretary of Higher Education before the academic year begins, and their regular academic-year disbursement will be reduced by the summer amount. Institutions must annually report how many students used summer grants and their graduation rates within standard timeframes. The bill does not extend grant eligibility periods but provides flexibility for students to advance their degrees during summer sessions.
