NJ STARS

At Wednesday's hearing of the New Jersey College Affordability Study Commission, a representative from the state Council of County Colleges and several county college presidents put forth ideas including exploring eligibility expansion for NJ STARS, the New Jersey Student Tuition Assistance Reward Scholarship.

Legislation sponsored by Assembly members Pam Lampitt and Pat Diegnan that would make changes to the NJ STARS and NJ STARS II scholarship programs to secure their sustainability has cleared an Assembly committee.
