Highlights

The data presented in this Office of Legislative Services Budget Analysis reflect 12-month fiscal years beginning on July 1 and ending on June 30 of the subsequent year.

• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes State appropriations of $1.74 billion in direct support for higher educational services, including institutional support for public and independent institutions of higher education, financial aid for students, and the operations of the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education. This is an increase of $95.7 million or 5.8 percent over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation.

• The Governor’s Budget includes $749.0 million in fringe benefit costs that the State is anticipated to pay on behalf of the senior public institutions of higher education in FY 2022. This is in addition to direct support appropriations for higher educational services. The recommended amount for fringe benefits grows by $35.7 million or 5.0 percent over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. (The appropriation for fringe benefits is reflected within the Interdepartmental Accounts section of the Governor’s FY 2022 Budget.)

• Direct State support for the senior public institutions of higher education is recommended at $813.2 million, an increase of $46.2 million or 6.0 percent over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. The increase largely reflects the Governor’s proposed Garden State Guarantee initiative, which is discussed further below.

• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes $192.4 million in State operational aid and other financial support to the county colleges, an increase of $21.5 million or 12.6 percent above the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. Funding to support the operational costs of county colleges increases by $21.8 million to $139.1 million from the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation of $117.4 million. Some $16.8 million of the increase reflects the replacement of federal COVID-19 assistance that is no longer available and that was used to offset State appropriations in FY 2021.

• For FY 2022, the Governor is proposing the Garden State Guarantee initiative, which would cost $45.0 million in financial assistance and $5.0 million to implement. As a result, four-year public colleges and universities could complement the State’s community colleges in providing two years of free tuition to students whose annual household income is no more than $65,000.

• The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget recommends $27.0 million for the Community College Opportunity Grant program, an increase of $5.8 million over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. The recommended FY 2022 program funding is expected to support 13,128 students. The program enables students with annual family incomes not exceeding $65,000 to attend county college virtually free.

• Funding for the Educational Opportunity Fund Program is recommended at $51.8 million, $2.8 million or 5.6 percent above the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation. This increase adds $1.65 million to the Opportunity Grants appropriation and $1.1 million to the Supplemental Education Program Grants appropriation.

2 Higher Educational Services FY 2021-2022

Highlights (Cont’d)

• Recommended funding for the Tuition Aid Grant Program remains unchanged from the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation of $437.9 million. The proposed TAG funding is projected to support 67,748 awards in the 2021-2022 academic year, which is 1,881 awards, or 2.9 percent more, than were provided in FY 2021.

• The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget includes a new $8.5 million appropriation for University Hospital capital growth projects.

• During the COVID-19 pandemic, New Jersey’s institutions of higher education have received over $2.0 billion in federal assistance. Of that total, the senior public institutions of higher education have been awarded some $1.03 billion, county colleges $659.4 million, and private institutions of higher education $255.4 million. The residual amount assisted proprietary and other private institutions of higher education. The sums include projected American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 allocations. The background paper starting on page 21 lists the totals by institution.

The FY 2022 budget includes an increase in each of the two grant program components of the Educational Opportunity Fund, for a total increase of 5.6 percent. The program supports educationally and economically disadvantaged students for undergraduate and graduate study at public and private institutions of higher education in New Jersey. The program consists of Opportunity Program Grants and Supplementary Education Program Grants. The FY 2022 Budget in Brief states that with the proposed increase, the program would for the first time in its 53-year history fully fund the identifiable demand for the academic year.

Opportunity Program Grants are awarded to students during the academic year to assist them in meeting college expenses, such as fees, books, room, board, and transportation which are not covered by the State’s Tuition Aid Grant program. Grants are also available to cover certain expenses during summer and winter sessions. Supplementary Education Program Grants are provided to public and private institutions to provide various campus outreach and support services, including tutoring, counseling, supplemental instruction, and leadership development.

According to evaluation data in the Governor’s FY 2022 Budget, 41 institutions of higher education will participate in the Educational Opportunity Fund program in the upcoming fiscal year. The total FY 2022 program appropriation is projected to support 21,979 Opportunity Grant awards, 2,147 additional grant awards over revised estimates for FY 2021.

For FY 2022, the Governor proposes $27.0 million to support an estimated 13,128 grants at an average award of $2,057 under the Community College Opportunity Grant program. The program provides grants to eligible county college students for those tuition costs and fees not already covered by any other State, federal, and institutional need based grants and merit scholarships. Students with adjusted gross household incomes of $65,000 or less are eligible to receive this financial assistance for a total of five semesters. The program also provides county colleges with Student Success Incentive funding for outreach and student success initiatives. The program was first established through budget language in the FY 2019 appropriations act and was recently codified into law by P.L.2021, c.26.

The recommended $45.0 million increase in the Outcomes-Based Allocation appropriation reflects the Governor’s newly proposed Garden State Guarantee initiative. The amount would be added to the outcomes-based funding formula so that four-year public colleges and universities can complement the State’s community colleges in providing two years of free tuition to students whose annual household income is not more than $65,000. Under this initiative, the State’s four-year public institutions would receive increased direct operating aid to assist students with adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less. These students would be guaranteed tuition and fee free prices for their first two years of study at the institution. Eligible community college transfer students who have benefited from the Community College Opportunity Grant program would have the potential to have their total tuition and fees covered if they graduate on time. A language provision outlines the Outcomes-Based Allocation funding formula and predicates receipt of Outcomes-Based Allocation funds, in part, on a senior public institution’s compliance with Garden State Guarantee initiative program requirements.

As a condition of the sale, Ramapo College will sell the property directly to a limited liability company for the negotiated price of $1,325,000. All proceeds from the sale by the college will be paid to the State, less any transaction fees expended by Ramapo College for the sale and conveyance.

Significant Changes/New Programs ($000) (Cont’d)

The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget recommends increasing county college operating support by $21.8 million over FY 2021. Two components produce this combined result

First, the Governor proposes an additional $5.0 million in operating support out of the Property Tax Relief Fund. A new language provision stipulates that the appropriation would be allocated to the 18 county colleges based on a new funding distribution model that is to be developed by the Secretary of Higher Education. The new funding model would take into consideration the Student Bill of Rights laid out in the 2019 State Plan for Higher Education; collaboration towards common goals including enrollment and degree completion goals of low-income and underrepresented student groups; and any other criteria to be established by the secretary.

Second, an additional $16.8 million out of the Property Tax Relief Fund would replace a one- time resource whose availability motivated a reduction in State operating support in each of FY 2020 and FY 2021. With federal COVID-19 aid to community colleges having been used, the Governor proposes backfilling the $16.8 million in FY 2022. It should be noted that this decision preceded the enactment of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which provides additional support to county colleges.

In addition, the Governor recommends a $10.0 million shift in the funding source of county college operating aid from the General Fund to the Property Tax Relief Fund. The General Fund appropriation reflects a transfer from the off-budget, special revenue Supplemental Workforce Fund for Basic Skills in accordance with a recurring language provision allocating various amounts from the fund to support the operational costs of county colleges, specifically costs for the provision of remedial courses. The transfer is being reduced in FY 2022, as fewer resources are projected to be available in the Supplemental Workforce Fund for Basic Skills after drawing down excess fund balances in FY 2021.

Community College Opportunity Grant Program

2021 Handbook: p. B-163 Revision 2022 Budget: p. D-305 Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Community College Opportunity Grants is subject to the following conditions: (1) $10 million $27 million is appropriated to the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority for the purpose of providing grants to eligible enrollees at New Jersey county colleges for the Fall 2020 2021 and Spring 2021 2022 semesters, to pay for the costs of tuition or approved educational fees, including fees for nursing, culinary, and other career and technical education programs, or both, that are not already covered by other available funding opportunities, including, but not limited to, awards of tuition assistance and grants from any source, as determined by the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority; provided, however, that the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, in consultation with the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education, shall establish criteria governing student eligibility and other necessary program elements, which shall be published on the Authority's Internet website; provided further that for Fiscal Year 2021 2022, grants shall be available only to students determined to be eligible by the Authority, and whose adjusted gross income does not exceed $65,000; and provided further that the maximum per student tuition and approved educational fee amounts eligible for Community College Opportunity Grants coverage shall not be more than two percent greater than the equivalent tuition and fee amounts at each county college in Academic Year 2019-2020 2020-2021; and provided further that unexpended balances, not to exceed $5 million, may be reallocated to augment the Tuition Assistance Grant program for county colleges, upon the recommendation of the Secretary of Higher Education and subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting; and (2) students must be enrolled in 6 or more credit hours, as defined pursuant to N.J.A.C. 9A:9-2.6.

Explanation

The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes $27.0 million for the Community College Opportunity Grant program, a $5.8 million, or 27.4 percent, increase over the FY 2021 adjusted appropriation of $21.2 million. The adjusted appropriation for the current year is composed of: a) $10.0 million included in the nine-month FY 2021 Appropriations Act, b) $10.0 million included in the supplemental appropriations act for the period from July 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020, and c) a supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million.

This language prescribes the unchanged parameters of the program. The program provides grants to eligible county college students for those tuition costs and fees not already covered by any other State, federal, and institutional need based grants and merit scholarships. Students with adjusted gross household incomes of $65,000 or less are eligible to receive this financial assistance for a total of five semesters. The program was first established through budget

language in the FY 2019 Appropriations Act and was recently codified into law by P.L.2021, c.26.

The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget anticipates an unchanged 13,128 students who would receive grants under the program. According to the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, the fall 2020 grants averaged $1,400, filling in the gaps remaining for these students’ direct college costs after first accounting for all other grant and scholarship aid for which the students were eligible.

Implementation Costs for Garden State Guarantee

2021 Handbook: p. N/A Addition 2022 Budget: p. D-300 Notwithstanding the provisions of any law or regulation to the contrary, the amount hereinabove appropriated for Garden State Guarantee Implementation is subject to the following conditions: funding shall be allocated by the Secretary of Higher Education, subject to the approval of the Director of the Division of Budget and Accounting, to four-year public institutions to offset the financial effects of declining enrollment trends and improve college affordability by funding approved applications for financial assistance to (i) all eligible, newly-enrolled New Jersey residents with adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less for two years of enrollment with no tuition or fees; and (ii) all other eligible newly enrolled students based upon a sliding scale pricing structure set by the institutions and relief from payment of tuition and fees based on the student’s length of academic term with on-time completion.

Explanation

The Governor’s FY 2022 Budget includes a $5.0 million appropriation to support the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education’s cost of implementing the new Garden State Guarantee initiative. This language sets the program parameters. The State’s four-year public institutions of higher education would receive increased direct operating aid to assist low-income students. Students with household incomes of $65,000 or less would be guaranteed tuition- and fee-free prices for their first two years of study at the institution. Eligible community college transfer students who have benefited from the Community College Opportunity Grant program could have their total tuition and fees covered if they graduate on time. Each institution would develop a sliding scale pricing structure for students above that income threshold. The Community College Opportunity Grant program already provides two years of free tuition to students at county colleges with annual household incomes of not more than $65,000.

Explanation

This new language would provide supplemental appropriation authority of $1.0 million for the New Jersey Gun Violence Research Center at the Rutgers School of Public Health.

Explanation

The FY 2022 Governor’s Budget includes an Outcomes-Based Allocation to each of the senior public institutions of higher education totaling $80.3 million. The total exceeds the $35.3 million available in FY 2021 by $45.0 million, which is entirely attributed to the Governor’s newly proposed Garden State Guarantee initiative. The amount would be added to the outcomes-based funding formula so that four-year public colleges and universities can complement the State’s community colleges in providing two years of free tuition to students whose annual household income is not more than $65,000. The proposed revisions to this language provision would incorporate the Garden State Guarantee initiative into the parameters of the Outcomes-Based Allocation program.

Under the Garden State Guarantee initiative, the State’s four-year public institutions would receive increased direct operating aid to assist students with adjusted gross incomes of $65,000 or less. These students would be guaranteed tuition- and fee-free prices for their first two years of study at the institution. Eligible community college transfer students who have benefited from the Community College Opportunity Grant program would have the potential to have their total tuition and fees covered if they graduate on time. Each institution would develop a sliding scale pricing structure for students above the $65,000 income threshold.

The Outcomes-Based Allocation for each school is based on a funding rationale that considers the total number of degrees awarded by the institution, the number of degrees awarded to individuals from underrepresented ethnic and racial minority groups, and the percentage of students at the institution who qualify for needs-based financial aid awards.

acts have included a language provision allocating various amounts from the fund to support the operational costs of county colleges, specifically costs for providing remedial courses.

The appropriation for operational costs of county colleges is recommended to fall by $10.0 million from $33.8 million in FY 2021 to $23.8 million in FY 2022 with the $10.0 million differential being shifted to the Property Tax Relief Fund at no net loss to the county colleges. The Supplemental Workforce Fund for Basic Skills support is being reduced as fewer resources are projected to be available in the fund in FY 2022 after drawing down excess fund balances in FY 2021.

The $30.8 million in the FY 2021 language reflects the nine-month period of the FY 2021 Appropriations Act. The supplemental appropriations act for the period from July 1, 2020 through September 30, 2020 had provided the additional $3.0 million for a total of $33.8 million for the 12-month FY 2021.

The funding distribution model should take into consideration: (1) the principles of the State Plan for Higher Education; (2) a promise to participate in good faith discussions with the Secretary of Higher Education to improve future distribution of funding to institutions consistent with State priorities and make progress towards agreed upon outcomes, such as enrollment and completion of low-income and underrepresented populations; and (3) such other requirements determined to be appropriate by the Secretary of Higher Education.

Explanation

The Governor proposes an additional $5.0 million in operating support to county colleges in FY 2022. This new language provides that the $5.0 million would be distributed to the county colleges according to a new funding model to be developed by the Secretary of Higher Education. The new funding model would take into consideration the Student Bill of Rights laid out in the 2019 State Plan for Higher Education; collaboration towards common goals including enrollment and degree completion goals of low-income and underrepresented student groups; and any other criteria to be established by the secretary.

Background Paper: Federal Funding Provided to New Jersey Institutions of Higher Education

During the COVID-19 pandemic, approximately $1.77 billion in federal assistance for higher education has been allocated in three rounds to New Jersey’s institutions of higher education from the Higher Education Emergency Relief Funds. The institutions received $347 million pursuant to the federal Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020, which was signed into law on March 27, 2020; and $525 million from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021, enacted on December 27, 2020. Most recently, the institutions are estimated to receive another $901 million through the American Rescue Plan of 2021, which was signed into law on March 11, 2021.

The below table provides a breakdown of the total allocation each of New Jersey’s county colleges, senior public institutions of higher education, and independent institutions of higher education received under the CARES Act and the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021, as well as a breakdown of the estimated allocation each institution is expected to receive under the American Rescue Plan of 2021. The table further breaks down the total allocation each institution of higher education received from the CARES Act under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund I, the Governor’s Emergency Education Relief Fund (GEERF), and the Coronavirus Relief Fund (CRF), as well as the total amounts each institution received from the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act of 2021 under the Higher Education Emergency Relief Fund II.
