Makes supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million for Community College Opportunity Grant.

S 2647 provides $1.2 million in supplemental funding for New Jersey's Community College Opportunity Grant program.

The funding supplements existing state appropriations and directly supports community college access for qualifying residents in fiscal year 2026.
