Community College Opportunity Grant Program For the Spring 2023-Fall 2023
RWJBarnabas Health employees have the opportunity to participate in a grant program provided by the State of New Jersey, in which community college tuition is free to those who meet the eligibility requirements. Students must enroll in any accredited program at any one of the state’s 18 county colleges.
RWJBarnabas Health Human Resources Workforce Division will support the employee during the FAFSA application and enrollment process. Additionally, HR will provide career counseling guidance if needed. A webinar will be available on the Career page on The Bridge to further explain the program, services and next steps.
