Makes supplemental appropriation of $20 million for provision of Summer Tuition Aid Grants in summer 2025; provides conditional authority for transfer of additional resources to Summer Tuition Aid Grants account.*
This bill appropriates an additional $20 million for Summer Tuition Aid Grants in New Jersey's fiscal year 2025, specifically to fund summer 2025 semester aid. It directly affects eligible New Jersey college students who received tuition aid in the prior fall or spring semester, are enrolled in at least six credits during summer 2025, and continue in the same undergraduate program. The key provision requires that these students receive 75 percent of the maximum grant amount for which they qualify under current law (instead of the current 50% for 6-8 credits). The funds are allocated to the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to administer these grants for the summer 2025 term.
