Establishes program to provide free tuition under State Tuition Aid Grant Program to certain students who are accepted to public four-year institutions of higher education and elect to attend county college for first two years.
This bill establishes a "Two to Four Tuition Free Students Program" within New Jersey's State Tuition Aid Grant Program. It provides free tuition for eligible students who accept admission to a four-year public or participating independent college but choose to complete their first two years at a New Jersey county college to earn an associate degree, then transfer to complete their bachelor's degree. To qualify, students must meet financial eligibility (NJ Eligibility Index ≤2499), apply for all available grants/scholarships, defer admission to the four-year institution for two years, and attend the county college in their residence county. The program covers full tuition at both the county college and the four-year institution for the two-year transfer pathway, with funding adjustments if students exceed the two-year timeline. The Higher Education Student Assistance Authority will administer the program and report annually on participation and cost savings.
