NJ STARS II provides funding for successful NJ STARS scholars who transfer to a New Jersey four-year public or private college or university that participates in the TAG program to earn a bachelor's degree.

Eligibility

? Students must be NJ STARS recipients or non-funded (tuition and approved fees fully covered by other State and/or Federal aid) during the semester of county college graduation.

? NJ STARS students must have graduated from a NJ county college with an associate degree and a GPA of 3.25 or higher.

? Family income (including taxable and untaxed income) must be less than $250,000.

? Students must be admitted to a New Jersey four-year institution that participates in the Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) Program. (NJ STARS eligibility does not guarantee admission to a New Jersey four-year college or university).

? Students must be enrolled in a full-time course of study (minimum 12 college-level credits) each semester.

? Students must apply for all forms of State and federal (if applicable) need-based grants and merit scholarships and submit any requested documentation to complete or verify application data within established State deadlines.

Benefits

? The NJ STARS II award will be based on tuition only, except for Tuition Aid Grant recipients who will receive NJ STARS II awards based on tuition and approved fees. The amount of the NJ STARS II award will be determined after all other State and Federal grants and scholarships are applied to these charges, not to exceed $1,250 per semester.

? May receive grants paid directly to the schools for up to four consecutive semesters, excluding summer sessions.
