New Jersey students enrolled in any one of the State’s 18 county colleges may be eligible for tuition-free college. Students who are enrolled in at least 6 credits per semester in Fall 2020 and/or Spring 2021 and who have an adjusted gross income of $0 -$65,000 will be considered for this state grant.
There is no separate application. If you already completed the FAFSA® or the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application for NJ Dreamers, you are automatically being considered for this state aid.
Students who plan to begin their studies in Spring 2021 (classes begin in January or February 2021), must complete the 2020-2021 FAFSA®.
If you are a New Jersey Dreamer, complete the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application.
The New Jersey Financial Aid Management System (NJFAMS) is the primary source for you to view your financial aid status. If any information or documentation is needed to complete your application, it will be listed in NJFAMS.
