A 5336 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes New Jersey County College Remissible Student Loan Program; appropriates $1 million.

This bill establishes the New Jersey County College Remissible Student Loan Program, providing eligible students at New Jersey county colleges with loans to cover tuition, approved fees, and textbooks not covered by other grants or scholarships. The loans are fully forgiven if students earn an associate degree within three academic years. To qualify, students must be New Jersey residents, enrolled part-time at a county college, and have applied for all other available state, federal, and institutional aid. The program is funded by a $1 million state appropriation from the General Fund, administered by the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority.
