Allows students to use portion of opportunity grant awards under Educational Opportunity Fund program during summer session.
This bill allows students receiving Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) grants to use part of their award for summer courses that count toward graduation or their major. Students must notify the Higher Education Secretary before the academic year starts, which reduces their regular academic year grant amount. The Secretary must then annually report how many students used this option and their graduation rates within standard timeframes. It directly affects EOF grant recipients at participating New Jersey colleges and implements a 2016 commission recommendation.
