    NEW JERSEY’S TUITION AID GRANT (TAG) PROGRAM April 2017 Summary The current TAG program significantly disadvantages the tens of thousands of New Jersey students who study in the State’s two-year and four-year public colleges and universities. This issue is extremely important because, in regard to public higher education, New Jersey functions on “a high tuition/high financial aid” model. That is, the State provides low operating and capital funding and expects the public institutions to rely on higher tuition charges, while the State provides a generous financial aid program to help students pay those higher public tuitions. Obviously, if the State’s TAG program is not providing adequate support to students in the public institutions, the model fails, and public higher education becomes less affordable. In New Jersey, the TAG program has been shaped to maintain high financial aid support to students attending private institutions, but it has declined in support for students in the public sector. Key Points • The identical student receives much larger TAG awards if they attend a private institution than if they attend a public institution. • Students who are eligible for substantial TAG awards if they attend a private institution, in many cases, are not eligible for any award at all at a public institution. • Governor Christie proposed the addition of $17.8 million in new money for TAG in FY ’17. The Legislature proposed language that would use the new money to take some initial steps to correct the current TAG methodology. The Governor vetoed that provision, and the new money was used in FY ’17 in a way that continued to increase the difference in the size of TAG awards for students at the private institutions over the public institutions.
