Urges Secretary of Higher Education and Educational Opportunity Fund Board to study and modernize program regulations, particularly regulations related to student funding priority levels.

SCR 94 is a New Jersey legislative resolution urging the Secretary of Higher Education and the Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Board to study and modernize EOF program regulations. It specifically addresses how current rules prioritize funding for students who earned associate degrees through high school dual enrollment programs - treating them as lower-priority applicants rather than first-time students, which creates disincentives for participation in these programs. The resolution directs the Secretary to evaluate all EOF regulations for similar misalignments with current education policies, particularly regarding college readiness programs like dual enrollment, Advanced Placement, and P-TECH. It requires the Secretary to share study findings and proposed changes with legislative committees. This resolution does not change existing law but seeks to update regulations to better support students accessing college credit while in high school.
