Financial Aid Offer Notifications
Financial aid offer notifications will be sent in late June to
eligible students who have completed their applications
and financial aid file. The notifications are emailed on
an ongoing basis as students' files are completed and
verified. Students should monitor their TCNJ email
account regularly for instructions to review financial aid
offers in PAWS.
Federal Verification
If there are outstanding items in students' PAWS
"To Do List," financial aid offers cannot be processed
until these items are submitted and reviewed.
State Verification
New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance
Authority may have selected some students for state
verification before confirming their eligibility for the
New Jersey Tuition Aid Grant.
NJHESAA would have contacted students via email
regarding outstanding documents. Students can
check the status of their NJTAG offers by visiting
njgrants.org and logging in to their NJFAMS account.
NJHESAA Customer Care Representatives may be
contacted by calling 1.800.792.8670. All students will
receive an email regarding eligibility for the NJTAG.
Alternative Loans
Students who are considering applying for an alternative
loan should refer to the Alternative Student Loan list at
tcnj.edu/alt-student-loans. To estimate the amount of
alternative loan amount needed, refer to the 2019–20 cost
of attendance information at tcnj.edu/cost-of-attendance.
Students can begin to apply for alternative loans in June.
If you prefer to wait until the 2020–21 Tuition and Fees
rates are announced in July, the amounts can be confirmed
in the initial fall 2020 bill. Bills will be emailed to students'
TCNJ email accounts by the Office of Student Accounts.
Installment Payment Plan
Information regarding the installment payment plan
will be included in the initial fall bill. For additional
information, please visit tcnj.edu/payment-plan or call
the Office of Student Accounts at 609.771.2172.
There is still time to complete the Free Application for Federal
Student Aid (FAFSA). To file the FAFSA, visit fafsa.gov
(TCNJ School Code: 002642). Please allow two weeks for
processing. Students who are New Jersey residents and want
to be considered for state aid should remember to click the
State Application link on the FAFSA confirmation page to answer
the state questions. Please note that TCNJ cannot certify any
alternative loan unless a FAFSA is on file.
Students selected for federal and/or state verification should refer
to the information under "Financial Aid Applicants." Financial aid
offer notifications are sent to students' TCNJ email accounts on a
weekly basis upon completion of their financial aid file.
