Expands Tuition Aid Grant program to part-time undergraduates; establishes New Jersey Student Affordability, Completion, and Equity Pilot Program.

This bill expands New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grant program to include part-time undergraduate students and creates a new pilot program focused on student affordability and equity. The key change allows part-time students to receive financial aid, with the amount of their grant calculated as a prorated portion of the standard full-time award. Eligibility for these grants remains tied to residency, demonstrated financial need, and satisfactory academic progress, while the total duration of aid is adjusted to reflect part-time enrollment status.
