Army and Air Force ROTC Scholarships.
Scholarships
are available on a competitive basis to qualified applicants. Each
provides full tuition, fees, reimbursement for required textbooks, and
a monthly allowance. High school seniors may obtain four-year
scholarship applications through their high school guidance office
or by writing or calling the ROTC departments at the Office for Student
Affairs (856/225-6043).
The university is precluded from
providing institutional support to ROTC scholarships because Department
of Defense policies discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation,
which contradicts university policy.
Rehabilitation Educational Assistance.
Disabled
residents of New Jersey should contact the New Jersey Rehabilitation
Center, 2600 Mt. Ephraim Avenue, Camden, NJ 08104 (856/757-2781).
Veterans Benefits.
The
U.S. Veterans Administration operates various education assistance
programs for eligible veterans, war orphans, surviving spouse or child
of any veteran killed while on duty with the Armed Forces, disabled
veterans, dependents of a veteran with service-related total
disability, and certain members of the selected reserve. Inquiries
concerning eligibility may be directed to the Veterans Administration
office in Newark, NJ (800/827-1000) or to the veterans coordinator on
each campus.
Veterans and others mentioned above who plan to
utilize veterans` education benefits initially should present the
Veterans Administration Certificate of Eligibility Form(s) and/or
discharge papers (certified copy of the DD214) when registering for
courses. If applying for other financial aid with the university,
veterans must report the fact that they will receive veterans`
education benefits to the Office of Financial Aid.
Veterans
planning to train under Chapter 32 VEAP, Chapter 30 of the New
(Montgomery) GI Bill of 1984, or Chapter 106 for Reservists, are
required by the university to pay cash for tuition, fees, books, and
supplies, when due. Veterans, in turn, receive an allowance for each
month of schooling based upon credits and the number of dependents.
No veteran may officially withdraw from a course (or courses) without
prior approval from the academic services and/or dean of students
offices. All withdrawals must be submitted in writing. The date of
official withdrawal will be the determining date for changes in
benefits. Failure to comply with the official school withdrawal
procedure may affect both past and future benefits. Any change in
schedule must also be reported to the campus Office of Veterans
Affairs.
