Establishes the New Jersey School Counts County College Scholarship Program.
This bill establishes the New Jersey School Counts County College Scholarship Program, providing two years of tuition and book coverage at county colleges for qualifying high school graduates. Students must earn a "School Counts certificate" by meeting strict criteria: 95%+ attendance, C+ GPA, completing extra credits beyond graduation requirements, finishing high school in eight semesters (or per IEP), and passing Algebra I. Eligible students receive up to $2,000 annually ($4,000 total), covering tuition and books, but must apply for other aid first and enroll within six months of graduation. The program is funded through state money, county college contributions, and private donations, with colleges needing to match state funds via private support. It directly affects New Jersey high school graduates who meet the attendance and academic standards set by participating schools.
