New Jersey A5005 prohibits undocumented students from receiving Tuition Aid Grants and Summer Tuition Aid Grants.

New Jersey A5005 amends state law to explicitly prohibit students without lawful immigration status from receiving Tuition Aid Grants and Summer Tuition Aid Grants. The bill modifies eligibility requirements to ensure that only lawful citizens of the United States or eligible noncitizens can receive these grants. It also mandates that the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority and the Secretary of Higher Education establish procedures and forms for eligible students to apply for other financial aid programs, ensuring these do not discriminate based on immigration status.
