Veterans, veteran dependents, and members of the New Jersey National Guard and Reserves must contact: Ms. Allison Babinski if you are eligible for benefits and wish to utilize them during the semester.
If you are interested in applying for any outside scholarships, please be sure to work with the organization issuing the scholarship so that it is not tuition specific and can be applied toward books, course materials, supplies, & equipment, etc. in order to maximize your benefits.
