花园州担保计划
什么是花园州保证?
的 花园州保证 (GSG) is New Jersey’s promise to make a college degree more accessible and affordable. By reducing out-of-pocket costs for students and families, New Jersey is limiting the amount of debt that residents must borrow to attend an in-state, 公立大学, 或大学. This program further builds on Governor Phil Murphy’s commitment to improving college affordability.
的 花园州保证 (GSG) program will provide up to four semesters of free tuition and mandatory fees for undergraduate, New Jersey resident students who attend in-state, 公立四年制大学.
在这个项目下, New Jersey residents who attend an in-state, 公共, four-year institution and have an annual adjusted gross income (AGI) between $0 and $65,000 will pay a net price of $0 for tuition and mandatory fees during their third and fourth years of study. 年龄指数在65美元之间的学生,001及$80,000 will pay a discounted net price of no more than $7,500美元的学费和其他强制性费用, 而那些平均收入为80美元的人,001及100元,000 will pay a discounted net price of no more than $10,000美元的学费和其他强制性费用. GSG funds are applied as a last-dollar award to cover the cost of tuition and fees that are not already covered by federal and state financial aid or institutional or outside scholarships. Students must be enrolled full-time (at least 12 credits per semester) and must be working toward completing their first Bachelor’s degree.

问题与答案
For dependent students, only parent(s’)/guardian(s’) AGIs are considered, not the student’s income. For independent students, the AGI of the student and spouse, if applicable, is considered.
Students who satisfy all eligibility criteria may receive GSG up to the overall cap of four (4) semesters.
Third-year students are defined as having earned 60-89 total accumulated credits, and fourth-year students are defined as having earned 90-128 total accumulated credits, regardless of the institution(s) at which the qualifying credits were earned (i.e.: accepted transfer credits from another institution of higher education, 先修课程, dual-enrollment项目, 等.).
是的. Expanding equitable and affordable college access to a high-quality degree in New Jersey is the GSG’s driving force. If you are not currently receiving state financial aid, apply before September 15, 2023.
GSG funding is available only to third- and fourth-year students at in-state, 公共, 四年的机构. First- and second-year students who attend a New Jersey community college with an AGI between $0 and $100,000 may be eligible for the Community College Opportunity Grant. Together, these complementary programs create a tuition- and fee-free pathway to a Bachelor’s degree.
