About 125,000 Burlington County residents may qualify to attend Rowan College at Burlington County with paying fees or tuition, according to Census date quoted by the college Thursday morning.
The state’s free community college program, known as the Community College Opportunity Grant, covers most tuition and fees for students who do not have a college degree and whose family income is less than $65,000.
According to Census data, more than one-third of Burlington County residents meet the income requirements while half of the county’s adults do not have a college degree.
“There is a great need in our county, and the value proposition for residents who need a degree has never been better,” Rowan College at Burlington County President Dr. Michael A. Cioce said. “The fall semester starts soon, and we have a team in the Student Success Center who can help you take advantage of this opportunity right now.”
In the spring, about 200 students at the college benefited from the program, college officials said. They expect that number to grow this fall after the college had time to promote the program.
“Thanks to this grant, I am able to focus on academics, and I am on track to finish my degree without the constant fear that I won’t be able to pay for the required classes,” said Erin Fintner, who benefited from funding as she returned to college to pursue a career as a paralegal. “Now, I feel like I can continue on to earn a bachelor’s degree — and maybe even attend law school.”

Save money on books, school supplies and everything you want to enjoy college! Financial aid, back in the olden days meant grants, scholarships, work study jobs. Loans were part of the package, but since they are available, ‘common thought’ was it is not financial aid – it was however a low interest loan. If you’re dependent on your parents, and they are below a certain income, most colleges give you much monies to help you attend their school. The middle class student with 2 working parents pays much more for their child to attend school and that student often can’t get work study job on campus. Those jobs are limited to the kids with financial aid.
If you can, or your parents can, to lower your loan debt when you leave school, if you have any monies, try to pay at least the interest while you are in school. Many loans start adding interest the day they are used to pay for school. So a $10,000 loan becomes a $12,000 amount when you leave school (example each loan is different) If you pay the interest (example $25 per month) then the $10,000 loan is only $10,000 when you leave school.
