Expands Tuition Aid Grant program to part-time undergraduates.
S 1545 expands New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) program to include part-time undergraduate students at public and private colleges and universities (excluding county colleges), who are currently ineligible for the state financial aid program. The bill requires that part-time students receive grants adjusted proportionally to their enrollment level (e.g., half-time students would receive half the grant amount of full-time students). It also mandates separate budget appropriations for part-time grants to ensure funding is allocated specifically for this expanded eligibility. This change aims to improve access to state financial aid for students who cannot enroll full-time due to work, family, or other responsibilities.
