I’m not sure how financial aid affects the NJSTARS program, but all the material I’ve read seems pretty clear that it will only cover mandatory fees along with the tuition piece. Nothing is ever said about books or other costs.

As for the poster who suggested that gas costs make sense in comparison to dorm costs, I must disagree. Living on campus is, in most cases, a choice…not mandatory. I don’t think its reasonable for a scholarship program to pay for your gas to get you to and from school.
