Establishes New Jersey Workforce Industry Needs Scholarship.
This bill establishes the New Jersey Workforce Industry Needs Scholarship to support students at county colleges and vocational schools. It covers up to $5,000 annually for tuition, fees, course materials, and professional license costs (after other aid), limited to two years for non-degree programs or three years for associate degrees. To qualify, students must be New Jersey residents enrolled in programs aligned with state labor needs - such as health care, advanced manufacturing, or education - and either be employed or complete a financial literacy course. The program requires annual reporting on scholarship usage, recipient demographics, and job placement rates in targeted fields.
