Since financial need is determined by comparing a student`s resources with the cost of attending college, part-time students who are gainfully employed typically are not found to demonstrate financial need.
The federal student financial aid sources (Federal Perkins Loan, Federal Work-Study Program, and William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Programs) require that a student enroll in a minimum of 6 credits per term to be eligible. The state of New Jersey does not provide funds for assisting part-time students.
The university has extremely limited financial aid funds for part-time students. All application procedures and deadlines applicable to full-time students also apply to part-time students.
