upon available funds. Application is made by submitting a FAFSA. EOF

Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF).
New
Jersey residents who are full-time students and who can demonstrate
backgrounds of financial and academic hardship are eligible for EOF
grants ranging from $200 to $2,650. Students who received EOF grants as
undergraduates are presumed eligible if they fall below the maximum
income parameters required for all recipients of this state grant.
Graduate students who did not receive EOF grants as undergraduates, but
feel that they come from backgrounds of financial hardship and wish to
be considered, should write to the financial aid office for
consideration. The grants are renewable for the duration of a student`s
degree work. The student must demonstrate continued eligibility and
provide evidence of satisfactory academic progress. In addition,
students must complete the FAFSA.
