Boakye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis is an agreement that brings two outstanding institutions together who have similar goals and missions. We believe that everyone should have access to a quality higher education at an affordable price,\u201d said Dr. Boakye.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cToday we are executing a plan that will not only support both our institutions, but the communities that we serve.\u201d Dr. Boakye stated that this agreement is one more way that the College can help students first graduate from Essex County College, then continue to grow and succeed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"450\" height=\"363\" src=\"http:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-450x363.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-7859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-450x363.jpg 450w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-150x121.jpg 150w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-768x619.jpg 768w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-500x403.jpg 500w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small-600x484.jpg 600w, https:\/\/localtalkweekly.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/07\/Transfer-program-signing-with-NJCU-1-small.jpg 1265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 450px) 100vw, 450px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">NJCU Interim President Andres Acebo concurred. \u201cThis agreement will be our collective legacy, a program that has been championed through by our concerted efforts.\u201d He said that there will be nearly 40 majors that students moving from ECC to NJCU can pursue at little or no cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The state Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) program covers the tuition and approved educational fees for eligible community college students which their remaining aid doesn\u2019t pay.&nbsp; At the four-year institution level, the state\u2019s Garden State Guarantee (GSG) program covers the cost of tuition and fees that are not already covered by federal and state financial aid or other scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under the terms of the agreement, both institutions will establish procedures for the sharing of campus resources and student support services. The program will be evaluated on a regular basis to ensure its effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">New Jersey State Assemblywoman Carmen Morales, a former ECC Board of Trustees member, said, \u201cToday marks a significant milestone in education. We are making higher education more accessible and affordable. We are strengthening the community and building a greater New Jersey.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Essex County Executive Joseph N. DiVincenzo, Jr., a graduate of NJCU when it was Jersey City State College, said, \u201cThis agreement is definitely about the students who will greatly benefit from this wonderful
