A 5988 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million for Community College Opportunity Grant.

This bill adds $1.2 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Community College Opportunity Grant program for fiscal year 2026. The grant helps low-income community college students cover tuition and fees not covered by other aid, specifically for those with household incomes under $65,000 who enroll in at least six credits and meet academic requirements. The funding directly supports eligible students attending New Jersey community colleges, including those with household incomes between $65,001-$80,000 (who receive half the maximum award) and $80,001-$100,000 (who receive one-third). It supplements existing appropriations without changing eligibility rules or program structure.
