A 2325 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

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

This bill adds $1.2 million in supplemental funding to the Community College Opportunity Grant program for the 2026 fiscal year. It directly supports low-income New Jersey community college students who meet specific criteria: enrolled in at least six credits, without a prior degree, with household income under $65,000 (or reduced awards for $65,001-$100,000), and who complete financial aid applications. The grant covers remaining tuition and approved fees not covered by other aid, up to 18 credits per semester. This funding ensures continued access to financial support for eligible students pursuing associate degrees.
