Bill to fund summer tuition aid grants becomes law

NEW JERSEY – Bipartisan legislation sponsored by Senator Robert Singer (R-30) that would fund summer tuition aid grants (TAG) was signed into law Tuesday by Governor Murphy.

“As tuition rates continue to rise, this bill makes a critical investment in financial aid, empowering students to reach their academic goals faster with less debt,” said Singer. “With the Governor’s signature, the Summer TAG program will help students stay on track, graduate on time, and enter the workforce better prepared. I commend Governor Murphy for signing this bill to support students in their academic pursuits.”

Senator Singer’s bill, S-3602/A-4811, will provide $20 million in funding for the Summer TAG program to accommodate eligible students during the summer 2025 semester.
