Financial Aid is available to assist full- and part-time students in meeting college costs. To be considered for financial aid, students should complete and submit the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) by June 1 for the fall semester and by November 1 for the Spring semester.

The financial aid application reviews the parent's and/or student's resources for the previous calendar year. The total contribution that can be made by the student and/or parents toward college is determined from this information. If the anticipated contribution is insufficient to meet college costs, the student is considered to have a financial aid need. Students must also demonstrate academic ability to benefit and maintain satisfactory academic progress to be eligible for financial aid.

Students applying for financial aid must submit appropriate documentation in support of their application. Documentation may include copies of parents/student income tax forms, nontaxable income verification, and the college financial aid information form. A student may be eligible to receive financial aid assistance for a maximum of six full-time semesters provided the student meets the college's satisfactory academic progress standards.

Financial aid assistance for more than six full-time semesters may only be allowed upon appeal by the student to the Student Development Council. For consideration of an appeal, the student must present evidence of unusual circumstances, which have not allowed him/her to complete the program with six full-time semesters of financial aid assistance.

Federal financial aid programs available include Federal Pell Grants, Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Federal Work Study, and the Federal Family Education Loan Program. State programs available include Tuition Aid Grants, Educational Opportunity Fund (EOF), and Garden State Scholarships. Institutional programs available include College Tuition Scholarships and College Foundation Scholarships.​​
