EOF Incentive Scholarship

All students who enroll in the EOF program at TCNJ will receive the EOF Promise Award which covers tuition, fees, room, meals, books, and insurance during their first two years. Students are required to live on campus during their first two years. For eligible students, there is an incentive scholarship for junior and senior years.

Here is more information about the incentive program:

Students receiving the EOF Promise Award in freshman and sophomore years will continue to receive all their government aid — Pell Grant, TAG, EOF Grant, Federal Work Study, and FSEOG (if eligible). The only part of their package they will be losing is TCNJ’s contribution that covers their gap between cost of attendance and what’s left after grants. While you’re no longer eligible to  receive the Promise Award in your junior and senior years, there is a scholarship incentive for which EOF upperclassman can apply. The following details available awards:

A student receiving the highest scholarship in junior year and senior years would be left with a gap and that cost is often covered by outside scholarships, Federal Stafford Loans, and/or institutional stipends given for students who become community assistants (free room and board). Many of our students who use their resources are able to graduate with little to no loan debt.
