S 2601 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Phases out State tuition aid grants for students enrolled in proprietary institutions.

This bill phases out New Jersey's state tuition aid grants for students attending private for-profit colleges (proprietary institutions) starting in the 2024-2025 academic year. It directly affects new students at these institutions, who will no longer qualify for state aid, while current recipients who received aid before this academic year may continue receiving it until they graduate or become ineligible. The key mechanism limits state tuition aid to students who had already received an award prior to the 2024-2025 school year. The change takes immediate effect upon passage.
