Rowan To Cover Tuition, Fees For Certain New Jersey Families

Rowan University is offering free tuition and fees for a four-year undergraduate degree for students from New Jersey whose families earn $45,000 or less, the university announced.

The Rowan University Opportunity Program is open to New Jersey residents who will be first-time incoming freshmen for the 2021-22 academic year, the university said on Wednesday.

To be eligible, students must register full time for the fall 2021 and spring 2022 semesters and must file a FAFSA application and be eligible for full federal and state aid. Students must register for the FAFSA by June 1.

“The Rowan Opportunity Program expands access to a high-quality, four-year education for talented students who might not otherwise be able to attend college,” Rowan Senior Vice President for Enrollment Management Jeff Hand said. “Obtaining a higher education degree changes the life of a student and also can positively impact the life of an entire family.”
