Summary

The bill requires every New Jersey county college to send an acceptance letter to each 12th‑grade student who lives in the college’s county, regardless of whether they attend a public or private school. The notice, due by Dec 1, must explain how to accept the offer, register for classes, apply for financial aid and access support services, and may include preliminary aid information if the student has already filed a FAFSA. The goal is to make college enrollment easier, especially for low‑income and historically underserved students.
