Scholarship Eligibility and Conditions
Students who graduated from high school and did not take advantage of the NJ STARS Program may still be potentially eligible for NJ STARS scholarships if they enroll in their home county community college within five semesters from high school graduation.
NJ STARS will pay for tuition only for 12-18 college-level credits in fall and spring semesters (currently, funds are not available to cover summer courses), for up to five semesters. Books and fees are not covered by NJ STARS.
In addition, in order to be eligible for NJ STARS scholarships, the following academic, financial aid and residency requirements must also be met. See NJ STARS Fact Sheets for High School Graduates below for more information:
Students must demonstrate college readiness for English, Reading and Math in order to be academically eligible for NJ STARS.
NJ STARS is not contingent on displaying financial need. However, applications for all Federal and State financial aid must be completed by the appropriated deadlines in order to be eligible for NJ STARS.
Students and their parents must be U.S. Citizens or eligible non-citizens, and legal New Jersey residents for a minimum of twelve months prior to high school graduation and upon county college enrollment.
