N.J. Admin. Code § 9A:9-9.6 - Amount of grant award

(a) A CCOG award shall cover up to the combined cost of in-county tuition and approved educational fees for up to 18 credit hours per semester for the county college at which the student is enrolled. The maximum CCOG award amount for individual students at each county college shall be calculated annually by the Authority subject to available appropriations. The maximum CCOG award amount for individual students at each county college shall not increase by more than three percent over the prior year.

1. The full amount of State, Federal, and institutional grants and scholarship aid received by the student for the purpose of paying tuition and approved educational fees shall be applied to the tuition and approved educational fee charges first, to reduce the amount of the CCOG award.

2. A student enrolled in fewer than 12 credits per semester shall be eligible for a maximum CCOG award amount that is prorated from the full-time CCOG award amount, based on the number of credits for which that student is enrolled.

i. Students enrolled for nine to 11 credits shall be eligible for 75 percent of the full CCOG award; and

ii. Students enrolled for six to eight credits shall be eligible for 50 percent of the full CCOG award.

3. A student enrolled at an out-of-county college shall be eligible for a CCOG award calculated based on the in-district rate of tuition and approved educational fees for the county college at which the student is enrolled, provided that the amount of a grant provided to a student under this paragraph does not exceed the amount of tuition and approved educational fees actually charged to the student.
