The Bridging the Gap program is a “last dollar” financial aid initiative designed to help cover the difference between a student’s federal, state, institutional, and private aid and any remaining balance for tuition and mandatory fees at Rutgers University–Camden. It aims to significantly reduce or eliminate out-of-pocket costs for tuition and mandatory fees, helping minimize student debt. The program is available to New Jersey undergraduate students with an adjusted gross income (AGI) between $0–$65,000, enrolled full-time, and pursuing their first bachelor's degree.
