The Financial Aid Office is launching a FAFSA Completion Workshop event for the 2024-2025 academic year. As you might be aware from the news, social media, and other sources, the federal government has rolled out a new version of the FAFSA. The NJCU community knows how crucial it is for our students to get their financial aid from both federal and state sources, and we would like to assist you and your parents with this process.

Please be aware that while we would like you to RSVP, we will be accepting walk-ins. As a continuing student it is important that you complete your FAFSA as soon as possible. The deadline to secure both federal and state aid is May 15th. It is critical to make sure any issues are resolved before that deadline so that your financial aid is not interrupted for the 2024-2025 academic year.

The following workshops are available. To participate, email financialaid@njcu.edu with the subject line "FAFSA Completion Event." In the email body, specify your preferred workshop date and time, and indicate whether your parent/guardian will attend.

'Modulations' is an eclectic showcase celebrating the diverse talents of 23 emerging artists from our BFA program.

Beyond its title, 'Modulations' serves as a thematic anchor for the diverse works on display, symbolizing the fluidity and adaptability inherent in artistic expression. Just as musical modulations shift tones and rhythms to evoke different moods and atmospheres, the artists in this show navigate various mediums and styles to convey their individual narratives and perspectives.

The Step Up/Vax Up digital contest is open for submissions until April 2024 for New Jersey college students. Entries include videos (YouTube, TikTok), podcasts, and social media posts. Prizes range from $500 to $5,000. Faculty support can earn a $1,000 School Staff Champion prize.
