School-Age Tuition Assistance Program
The New Jersey School-Age Tuition Assistance Program can help you pay for care for your school-age child in need of child care as a result of COVID-19 remote learning schools schedules. To be eligible for this assistance, you must be:
- a NJ resident;
- your child must be attending school remotely, either part-time or full-time; and
- your annual gross household income must be $150,000 or less.
Note, the income cap was increased from $75,000 to $150,000 on October 1. If you previously applied for tuition assistance and were denied because of income, someone will be reaching out to you shortly.
Tuition rates are:
| Provider Type | Full-Time Monthly Rate | Part-Time Monthly Rate |
| Licensed Child Care Centers | $634.27 | $317.14 |
| Registered Family Child Care | $526.52 | $263.26 |
