Overview
This bill aims to make the Tuition Aid Grant Program more accessible to independent adult students in New Jersey. It requires the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority (HESAA) to raise the income protection allowance used to determine eligibility for these grants. Currently, New Jersey’s allowance is lower than the federal government’s, potentially excluding some eligible students. By aligning with the federal standard, the bill seeks to ensure more students qualify for financial aid.
