S 2813 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Establishes three-year pilot program in DOE to provide certain students with information and assistance regarding federal financial aid application.

New Jersey's S 2813 establishes a three-year pilot program to help high school students navigate federal financial aid applications. The bill requires participating school districts (selected across urban, suburban, and rural areas in three regions) to provide 12th graders with FAFSA application guidance at least once before grade 12, covering required documents, key terms, eligibility, and deadlines. It also mandates that parents/guardians receive written or electronic FAFSA information and that schools provide paper FAFSA forms upon request. All student and parent data shared under the program must comply with state and federal privacy laws, and the program will conclude with a state report evaluating its feasibility for statewide adoption.
