S 923 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Establishes Career and Technical Education Dual Enrollment Grant Program; appropriates $5 million.

S 923 establishes a $5 million grant program to expand dual enrollment in career and technical education (CTE) for high school students. Public colleges and universities in New Jersey can apply for grants to offer college-level CTE courses on their campuses or in high schools, allowing students to earn college credits while still in high school. The program requires competitive applications detailing institutional capacity, student participation plans, and long-term sustainability, with the Secretary of Higher Education reporting annually on program impact and workforce effects. This directly affects high school students seeking early college credit in career fields and public higher education institutions receiving funding.
