CAMDEN, NJ — Students who are hoping to attend Camden County College tuition-free this fall still have close to a month to complete applications.
The deadline is Sept. 15 for students enrolled in any of the 19 county colleges approved to participate in the Community College Innovation Challenge grant pilot program to file for Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) awards.
This does not require submitting a separate application from the Federal Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) or the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application for New Jersey Dreamers. Students are already being considered for the awards if they completed these forms.
Launched last spring with the 13 colleges, the CCOG program was revised this year in the state budget, approved in June, to cover all New Jersey county colleges. It initially had been aimed at students with an adjusted gross income of $45,000 or less, but now extends to a cap of $65,000.
Students with adjusted gross incomes under that new threshold and who are enrolled for at least six credits at Camden County College for fall 2019 will be eligible to receive last-dollar CCOG awards. This means the grants will cover remaining costs of tuition after all other federal or state financial aid awards have been applied. Students will be required to maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible.
Those who have not yet filed for financial aid for the upcoming academic year can do so by going to the FAFSA website or the NJ Alternative Financial Aid Application for New Jersey Dreamers.
For more details on student eligibility and program rules, check the Policy and Procedures page for the CCOG program.
Students who are enrolled in one of the county colleges should visit the New Jersey Financial Aid Management System (NJFAMS) to access their student account and review their to do list.

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.
