For students who graduated high school in 2010 or later, a scholarship under the NJ STARS Program shall cover up to the full cost of tuition. All NJ STARS scholarships are subject to the prior application of other State and Federal grants and scholarships against those costs, for up to 18 credit hours in any semester for an eligible student enrolled in a full-time course of study at the New Jersey county college serving the student's county of residence. The full amount of State and Federal need-based grants and merit scholarships received by the student shall be applied to tuition or tuition and fee charges, as applicable, to reduce the amount of the NJ STARS award.
