Highlights
The data presented in this Office of Legislative Services Budget Analysis reflect 12-month
fiscal years beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of the subsequent year.
• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes State appropriations of $1.74 billion in direct
support for higher educational services, including institutional support for public and
independent institutions of higher education, financial aid for students, and the
operations of the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education. This is an increase of
$95.7 million or 5.8 percent over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation.
• The Governor’s Budget includes $749.0 million in fringe benefit costs that the State is
anticipated to pay on behalf of the senior public institutions of higher education in FY
2022. This is in addition to direct support appropriations for higher educational services.
The recommended amount for fringe benefits grows by $35.7 million or 5.0 percent over
the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. (The appropriation for fringe benefits is reflected
within the Interdepartmental Accounts section of the Governor’s FY 2022 Budget.)
• Direct State support for the senior public institutions of higher education is
recommended at $813.2 million, an increase of $46.2 million or 6.0 percent over the
FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. The increase largely reflects the Governor’s proposed
Garden State Guarantee initiative, which is discussed further below.
• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes $192.4 million in State operational aid and
other financial support to the county colleges, an increase of $21.5 million or 12.6
percent above the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. Funding to support the operational
costs of county colleges increases by $21.8 million to $139.1 million from the FY 2021
adjusted appropriation of $117.4 million. Some $16.8 million of the increase reflects
the replacement of federal COVID-19 assistance that is no longer available and that was
used to offset State appropriations in FY 2021.
• For FY 2022, the Governor is proposing the Garden State Guarantee initiative, which
would cost $45.0 million in financial assistance and $5.0 million to implement. As a
result, four-year public colleges and universities could complement the State’s
community colleges in providing two years of free tuition to students whose annual
household income is no more than $65,000.
• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget recommends $27.0 million for the Community College
Opportunity Grant program, an increase of $5.8 million over the FY 2021 adjusted
appropriation. The recommended FY 2022 program funding is expected to support
13,128 students. The program enables students with annual family incomes not
exceeding $65,000 to attend county college virtually free.
• Funding for the Educational Opportunity Fund Program is recommended at $51.8
million, $2.8 million or 5.6 percent above the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. This
increase adds $1.65 million to the Opportunity Grants appropriation and $1.1 million to
the Supplemental Education Program Grants appropriation.
2Higher Educational Services FY 2021-2022
Highlights (Cont’d)
• Recommended funding for the Tuition Aid Grant Program remains unchanged from the
FY 2021 adjusted appropriation of $437.9 million. The proposed TAG funding is
projected to support 67,748 awards in the 2021-2022 academic year, which is 1,881
awards, or 2.9 percent more, than were provided in FY 2021.
• The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget includes a new $8.5 million appropriation for
University Hospital capital growth projects.
• During the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey’s institutions of higher education have
received over $2.0 billion in federal assistance. Of that total, the senior public
institutions of higher education have been awarded some $1.03 billion, county colleges
$659.4 million, and private institutions of higher education $255.4 million. The residual
amount assisted proprietary and other private institutions of higher education. The sums
include projected American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 allocations. The background paper
starting on page 21 lists the totals by institution.

The FY 2022 budget includes an increase in each of the two grant program components of the
Educational Opportunity Fund, for a total increase of 5.6 percent. The program supports
educationally and economically disadvantaged students for undergraduate and graduate study at
public and private institutions of higher education in New Jersey. The program consists of
Opportunity Program Grants and Supplementary Education Program Grants. The FY 2022
Budget in Brief states that with the proposed increase, the program would for the first time in its
53-year history fully fund the identifiable demand for the academic year.
Opportunity Program Grants are awarded to students during the academic year to assist them in
meeting college expenses, such as fees, books, room, board, and transportation which are not
covered by the State’s Tuition Aid Grant program. Grants are also available to cover certain
expenses during summer and winter sessions. Supplementary Education Program Grants are
provided to public and private institutions to provide various campus outreach and support
services, including tutoring, counseling, supplemental instruction, and leadership development.
According to evaluation data in the Governor’s FY 2022 Budget, 41 institutions of higher
education will participate in the Educational Opportunity Fund program in the upcoming fiscal
year. The total FY 2022 program appropriation is projected to support 21,979 Opportunity Grant
awards, 2,147 additional grant awards over revised estimates for FY 2021.

For FY 2022, the Governor proposes $27.0 million to support an estimated 13,128 grants at an
average award of $2,057 under the Community College Opportunity Grant program. The
program provides grants to eligible county college students for those tuition costs and fees not
already covered by any other State, federal, and institutional need based grants and merit
scholarships. Students with adjusted gross household incomes of $65,000 or less are eligible to
receive this financial assistance for a total of five semesters. The program also provides county
colleges with Student Success Incentive funding for outreach and student success initiatives. The
program was first established through budget language in the FY 2019 appropriations act and
was recently codified into law by P.L.2021, c.26.

The recommended $45.0 million increase in the Outcomes-Based Allocation appropriation
reflects the Governor’s newly proposed Garden State Guarantee initiative. The amount would
be added to the outcomes-based funding formula so that four-year public colleges and
universities can complement the State’s community colleges in providing two years of free tuition
to students whose annual household income is not more than $65,000. Under this initiative, the
State’s four-year public institutions would receive increased direct operating aid to assist students
with adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less. These students would be guaranteed tuition and
fee free prices for their first two years of study at the institution. Eligible community college
transfer students who have benefited from the Community College Opportunity Grant program
would have the potential to have their total tuition and fees covered if they graduate on time. A
language provision outlines the Outcomes-Based Allocation funding formula and predicates
receipt of Outcomes-Based Allocation funds, in part, on a senior public institution’s compliance
with Garden State Guarantee initiative program requirements.

Significant Changes/New Programs ($000) (Cont’d)
The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget recommends increasing county college operating support by
$21.8 million over FY 2021. Two components produce this combined result
First, the Governor proposes an additional $5.0 million in operating support out of the Property
Tax Relief Fund. A new language provision stipulates that the appropriation would be allocated
to the 18 county colleges based on a new funding distribution model that is to be developed by
the Secretary of Higher Education. The new funding model would take into consideration the
Student Bill of Rights laid out in the 2019 State Plan for Higher Education; collaboration towards
common goals including enrollment and degree completion goals of low-income and
underrepresented student groups; and any other criteria to be established by the secretary.
Second, an additional $16.8 million out of the Property Tax Relief Fund would replace a one-
time resource whose availability motivated a reduction in State operating support in each of FY
2020 and FY 2021. With federal COVID-19 aid to community colleges having been used, the
Governor proposes backfilling the $16.8 million in FY 2022. It should be noted that this decision
preceded the enactment of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provides additional
support to county colleges.
In addition, the Governor recommends a $10.0 million shift in the funding source of county
college operating aid from the General Fund to the Property Tax Relief Fund. The General Fund
appropriation reflects a transfer from the off-budget, special revenue Supplemental Workforce
Fund for Basic Skills in accordance with a recurring language provision allocating various
amounts from the fund to support the operational costs of county colleges, specifically costs for
the provision of remedial courses. The transfer is being reduced in FY 2022, as fewer resources
are projected to be available in the Supplemental Workforce Fund for Basic Skills after drawing
down excess fund balances in FY 2021.

Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount
hereinabove appropriated for Community College Opportunity Grants is subject to the
following conditions: (1) $10 million $27 million is appropriated to the Higher Education
Student Assistance Authority for the purpose of providing grants to eligible enrollees at New
Jersey county colleges for the Fall 2020 2021 and Spring 2021 2022 semesters, to pay for the
costs of tuition or approved educational fees, including fees for nursing, culinary, and other
career and technical education programs, or both, that are not already covered by other
available funding opportunities, including, but not limited to, awards of tuition assistance and
grants from any source, as determined by the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority;
provided, however, that the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, in consultation
with the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, shall establish criteria governing student
eligibility and other necessary program elements, which shall be published on the Authority's
Internet website; provided further that for Fiscal Year 2021 2022, grants shall be available only
to students determined to be eligible by the Authority, and whose adjusted gross income does
not exceed $65,000; and provided further that the maximum per student tuition and approved
educational fee amounts eligible for Community College Opportunity Grants coverage shall
not be more than two percent greater than the equivalent tuition and fee amounts at each
county college in Academic Year 2019-2020 2020-2021; and provided further that
unexpended balances, not to exceed $5 million, may be reallocated to augment the Tuition
Assistance Grant program for county colleges, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of
Higher Education and subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and
Accounting; and (2) students must be enrolled in 6 or more credit hours, as defined pursuant
to N.J.A.C. 9A:9-2.6.
Explanation
The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes $27.0 million for the Community
College Opportunity Grant program, a $5.8 million, or 27.4 percent, increase
over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation of $21.2 million. The adjusted
appropriation for the current year is composed of: a) $10.0 million included in
the nine-month FY 2021 Appropriations Act, b) $10.0 million included in the
supplemental appropriations act for the period from July 1, 2020 through
September 30, 2020, and c) a supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million.
This language prescribes the unchanged parameters of the program. The
program provides grants to eligible county college students for those tuition costs
and fees not already covered by any other State, federal, and institutional need
based grants and merit scholarships. Students with adjusted gross household
incomes of $65,000 or less are eligible to receive this financial assistance for a
total of five semesters. The program was first established through budget

by P.L.2021, c.26.
The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget anticipates an unchanged 13,128 students who
would receive grants under the program. According to the Higher Education
Student Assistance Authority, the fall 2020 grants averaged $1,400, filling in the
gaps remaining for these students’ direct college costs after first accounting for
all other grant and scholarship aid for which the students were eligible.
Implementation Costs for Garden State Guarantee
2021 Handbook: p. N/A
Addition
2022 Budget: p. D-300
Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove
appropriated for Garden State Guarantee Implementation is subject to the following conditions:
funding shall be allocated by the Secretary of Higher Education, subject to the approval of the
Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, to four-year public institutions to offset the
financial effects of declining enrollment trends and improve college affordability by funding
approved applications for financial assistance to (i) all eligible, newly-enrolled New Jersey
residents with adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less for two years of enrollment with no
tuition or fees; and (ii) all other eligible newly enrolled students based upon a sliding scale pricing
structure set by the institutions and relief from payment of tuition and fees based on the student’s
length of academic term with on-time completion.
Explanation
The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes a $5.0 million appropriation to support
the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education’s cost of implementing the new
Garden State Guarantee initiative. This language sets the program parameters.
The State’s four-year public institutions of higher education would receive
increased direct operating aid to assist low-income students. Students with
household incomes of $65,000 or less would be guaranteed tuition- and fee-free
prices for their first two years of study at the institution. Eligible community
college transfer students who have benefited from the Community College
Opportunity Grant program could have their total tuition and fees covered if they
graduate on time. Each institution would develop a sliding scale pricing structure
for students above that income threshold. The Community College Opportunity
Grant program already provides two years of free tuition to students at county
colleges with annual household incomes of not more than $65,000.

institutions receiving awards shall be required to: (1) commit to the principles of the State Plan
for Higher Education, (2) maintain a) adopt and publicly offer a predictable pricing guarantee to
all full-time undergraduate students newly enrolling in the fall of 2022 that ensures that each
such student with a family adjusted gross income of up to $65,000 will receive enough financial
aid from a combination of State, federal, institutional, and other grants or scholarships to
eliminate the net cost of tuition and mandatory fees for the student for the first two years of the
student's enrollment at the institution, (b) develop sliding-scale net prices for other students who
have higher incomes to complement this pricing guarantee, consistent with a predictable pricing

Explanation
The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget includes an Outcomes-Based Allocation to each
of the senior public institutions of higher education totaling $80.3 million. The
total exceeds the $35.3 million available in FY 2021 by $45.0 million, which is
entirely attributed to the Governor’s newly proposed Garden State Guarantee
initiative. The amount would be added to the outcomes-based funding formula
so that four-year public colleges and universities can complement the State’s
community colleges in providing two years of free tuition to students whose
annual household income is not more than $65,000. The proposed revisions to
this language provision would incorporate the Garden State Guarantee initiative
into the parameters of the Outcomes-Based Allocation program.
Under the Garden State Guarantee initiative, the State’s four-year public
institutions would receive increased direct operating aid to assist students with
adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less. These students would be guaranteed
tuition- and fee-free prices for their first two years of study at the institution.
Eligible community college transfer students who have benefited from the
Community College Opportunity Grant program would have the potential to
have their total tuition and fees covered if they graduate on time. Each institution
would develop a sliding scale pricing structure for students above the $65,000
income threshold.
The Outcomes-Based Allocation for each school is based on a funding rationale
that considers the total number of degrees awarded by the institution, the number
of degrees awarded to individuals from underrepresented ethnic and racial
minority groups, and the percentage of students at the institution who qualify for
needs-based financial aid awards.

acts have included a language provision allocating various amounts from the
fund to support the operational costs of county colleges, specifically costs for
providing remedial courses.
The appropriation for operational costs of county colleges is recommended to
fall by $10.0 million from $33.8 million in FY 2021 to $23.8 million in FY 2022
with the $10.0 million differential being shifted to the Property Tax Relief Fund
at no net loss to the county colleges. The Supplemental Workforce Fund for Basic
Skills support is being reduced as fewer resources are projected to be available
in the fund in FY 2022 after drawing down excess fund balances in FY 2021.
The $30.8 million in the FY 2021 language reflects the nine-month period of the
FY 2021 Appropriations Act. The supplemental appropriations act for the period
from July 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 had provided the additional $3.0
million for a total of $33.8 million for the 12-month FY 2021.

The Governor proposes an additional $5.0 million in operating support to county
colleges in FY 2022. This new language provides that the $5.0 million would be
distributed to the county colleges according to a new funding model to be

Background Paper: Federal Funding Provided to New Jersey Institutions of Higher Education
During the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately $1.77 billion in federal assistance for higher education has been allocated in three rounds to New
Jersey’s institutions of higher education from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds. The institutions received $347 million pursuant to the federal
Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020; and $525 million from the
Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021, enacted on December 27, 2020. Most recently, the institutions are estimated
to receive another $901 million through the American Rescue Plan of 2021, which was signed into law on March 11, 2021.
The below table provides a breakdown of the total allocation each of New Jersey’s county colleges, senior public institutions of higher education, and
independent institutions of higher education received under the CARES Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act
of 2021, as well as a breakdown of the estimated allocation each institution is expected to receive under the American Rescue Plan of 2021. The table

23The Office of Legislative Services provides nonpartisan assistance to the State Legislature
in the areas of legal, fiscal, research, bill drafting, committee staffing and administrative
services. It operates under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Services Commission, a
bipartisan body consisting of eight members of each House. The Executive Director
supervises and directs the Office of Legislative Services.
The Legislative Budget and Finance Officer is the chief fiscal officer for the Legislature.
The Legislative Budget and Finance Officer collects and presents fiscal information
for the Legislature; serves as Secretary to the Joint Budget Oversight Committee;
attends upon the Appropriations Committees during review of the Governor’s Budget
recommendations; reports on such matters as the committees or Legislature may direct;
administers the fiscal note process and has statutory responsibilities for the review of
appropriations transfers and other State fiscal transactions.
The Office of Legislative Services Central Staff provides a variety of legal, fiscal, research
and administrative services to individual legislators, legislative officers, legislative
committees and commissions, and partisan staff. The central staff is organized under the
Central Management Unit into ten subject area sections. Each section, under a section
chief, includes legal, fiscal, and research staff for the standing reference committees of the
Legislature and, upon request, to special commissions created by the Legislature.
The central staff assists the Legislative Budget and Finance Officer in providing services
to the Appropriations Committees during the budget review process.
