The deadline to submit your poster is May 2. Finished posters need to be delivered to the Monmouth County Sheriff ’s Offi ce at 2500 Kozloski Road in Freehold. Invitations to participate in the contest have been sent to all school principals in the county.

Community Colleges Urge A $15M Funding Increase
NEW JERSEY – “While we applaud the expansion of the Community College Opportunity Grant (CCOG) – a program that provides free tuition and approved educational fees for income-qualifying students – we are disappointed in the lack of increased funding in the proposed state budget for operating costs of Community Colleges. Sadly, state funding for Community Colleges in New Jersey ranks among the lowest in the country compared to other states,” said Dr. Aaron Fichtner, President, New Jersey Council for County Colleges (NJCCC). Governor Murphy’s proposed budget includes no increase in state support for Community Colleges, yet New Jersey’s 18 Community Colleges serve more than 200,000 undergraduate students statewide each year. New Jersey’s Community Colleges are essential institutions of economic opportunity and critical to the state’s economic future, as we recover from the pandemic and beyond. New Jersey’s 18 Community Colleges call on Governor Murphy and the Legislature to allocate a full $15 million increase in state support as part of a multi-year eff ort to bring state support to levels that reflect the state’s commitment to supporting a high-quality, aff ordable college education for all New Jerseyans.
