Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF) Grant. 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 $2,850. 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 contact the Office of Financial Aid for
information. The grants are renewable for the duration of the student's
degree work, subject to continued student eligibility and provided
satisfactory academic progress is made. Applicants must complete the
FAFSA form.
