NJ’S COLLEGE
ACCESS CHALLENGE GRANT As part of the federally funded
College Access Challenge Grant, the Office of the Secretary of
Higher Education
(OSHE) intends to fund
a third cohort of projects through the Disengaged Adults Returning
to College (DARC) initiative. The funded projects will identify,
contact, re-enroll, and graduate adults who have left New Jersey
colleges in good standing but without earning the intended associate’s
or bachelor’s degree. The target population for the grant
is adults, aged 20 and older, who left a New Jersey institution
within
the past 10 years (since 2002), in good standing, without earning
an undergraduate degree. They should have earned at least 50% of
credits toward a degree.
Not-for-profit, non-religious New Jersey institutions of higher education who have not previously received DARC funding are eligible to apply. The anticipated grant cycle for funded projects is two years but dependent upon continued federal funding and satisfactory progress made by the project. The first year of funding, FY2013, will begin July 1, 2012 and end June 30, 2013. The second year of funding, FY2014, runs July 1, 2013 thru June 30, 2014.
