The New Jersey Foster Care (NJFC) Scholars Program was put into place after Governor McGreevey signed the Tuition Waiver Bill in July of 2003. Through the passing of this legislation eligible foster and homeless youth may receive full tuition to a public New Jersey college, university, or vocational school.
In addition tuition assistance for private or out of state institutions is available through the Federal Education and Training Voucher Program. Students accepted into this program may also received assistance in the following areas:- Room and Board
- Books and Supplies
- Transportation
- Computers/Special Equipment
- Child Care Costs
Since the NJFC Scholars Program has two sources of funding each has its own eligibility criteria. Your personal status will determine which source of funding will fund your scholarship and therefore what services your scholarship will pay for.
