The Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) pays for the cost of tuition and approved educational fees that other grants do not cover.
Students attending UCNJ who have completed their Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) prior to the deadline will be automatically considered for eligibility for Tuition Free / CCOG funding. There is no separate application.
