S 4862 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Makes supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million for Community College Opportunity Grant.

This bill adds $1.2 million in supplemental funding to New Jersey's Community College Opportunity Grant program for fiscal year 2026. The grant helps eligible low-income community college students cover tuition and fees not covered by other aid, specifically for those with household incomes between $0 and $65,000. It also adjusts support for prior recipients with higher incomes ($65,001-$80,000 receive half the maximum award, and $80,001-$100,000 receive one-third). The funding directly supports community college students enrolled in at least six credits who meet income and academic requirements. The bill modifies existing program funding without changing eligibility criteria.
