New Jersey A4298 revises eligibility for Educational Opportunity Fund grants and campus-based programs.

New Jersey A4298 amends the eligibility criteria for Educational Opportunity Fund grants and campus-based programs. The bill allows students who have earned an associate degree, college credits, or completed a dual degree program while in high school to qualify for these grants if they meet other eligibility requirements. It ensures that such students are not excluded from participating in campus-based Educational Opportunity Fund programs at any institution of higher education. The changes apply immediately to the first full academic year following the bill's enactment.
