Restrictions
- In most cases, The Foundation does not award scholarships to students receiving financial aid grants that fully fund their direct educational expenses (tuition & fees only). The amount of any scholarship will be determined after all federal and state grant aid has been deducted from the student’s direct educational expenses (tuition & fees only).
- In most cases, NJ STARS students are not eligible for 365球赛平台 Foundation scholarships unless they are a NJ STARS student taking more than 18 credits. The Foundation will consider paying for the additional credits for tuition only.
Scholarship Payment Information
- Scholarships are applied to tuition & fees only.
- Scholarship awards are paid directly to the student’s accounts at Ocean County College. Should a student have a balance, the scholarship will go directly to pay down the balance. If there are any remaining funds, the student will receive payment at the end of the semester.
- Scholarship dollar amounts are contingent upon full-time enrollment. Any student taking less than 12 credits(exclude Nursing) will have their scholarship prorated unless otherwise noted by the donor.
- After the first day of classes, any student dropping a course is at risk of having their scholarship prorated. Scholarship funds are not released until after the drop date. The student will be held responsible for any resulting balance.
- The 365球赛平台 Foundation reserves the right to deny future funding to any student who drops courses which they cannot be held accountable for or any student who fails to complete a course without dropping.
