Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 24, December 18, 2024

Section 9A:11-6.7 - Appeals

(a) A student, or their parent(s), may only file a written appeal with the EOF Executive Director regarding an institutional determination of ineligibility for an Article III student grant, but only after the student has appealed through all institutional channels because EOF is a campus-based program. (Participating institutions are responsible for verifying grant and scholarship eligibility and for establishing appeal procedures.)

1. Appeals submitted to the EOF Executive Director shall be in the form of a letter addressed to the EOF Executive Director at the Office of the Secretary of Higher Education EOF, PO Box 542, Trenton, New Jersey 08625-0542.

2. The letter shall contain the student's full name, social security number, and college of attendance and present detailed information about the case, including a description of the basis for appeal and the names of institutional officials contacted during the institutional appeal process.

(b) If an institution presents, after State payment deadline dates, new information or evidence that justifies reversing previous institutional determinations of ineligibility as the result of a successful institutional appeal process, the institution may seek authorization from the EOF Executive Director to receive payments in the same fiscal year, but such requests shall be submitted before June 30th of each year.
