<p>I just learned that Gov. Christie has canceled the NJ Tuition Aid Grant (TAG) for around 5,000 families (This Grant gives up to around $ 7,000). I had TAG but when I checked yesterday my TAG was gone (I sent in everything so nothing should have changed).</p>
<p>Oh man, that really sucks. See if there is something called a Rutgers Assistance Grant on your award letter to make up the difference and call the financial aid office.</p>
<p>Where did you hear that the TAG award was canceled? I too had the TAG and it disappeared from my bill. I called HESAA about it and they said it wasn’t taken away but they were reevaluating the amount and I would be notified this week about the amount. I really hope this isn’t true that they canceled it, especially so close to the beginning of the semester.</p>
<p>I don’t think it got canceled, but I think the amount will less that what you were initially told.</p>
<p>yeah, i don’t think it got cancelled, because I still have it, but my final amount was reduced dramatically versus the initial projected amount.</p>
<p>When I called Rutgers yesterday about my financial aid the person on the phone told me about the cancelations. I decided to call HESAA today to check the TAG issue and they told me that it was just reduced greatly so I don’t know what Rutgers was saying I’m just glad I still have the TAG even though it is greatly reduced. Thanks for the posts :)</p>
