Expands Tuition Aid Grant program to part-time undergraduates.
This bill expands New Jersey's Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) program to include part-time undergraduate students attending eligible public and private colleges in the state. Currently, only full-time students qualify for TAG funding. Under the bill, part-time students would receive prorated grants (reduced proportionally based on course load) compared to full-time awards, with separate funding allocations to prevent cuts to existing full-time grants. The change directly affects part-time students who work or have family responsibilities while pursuing degrees, making financial aid more accessible to this group.
