Each year, OSHE manages a number of grant programs and initiatives for New Jersey institutions of higher education that are funded by the annual state budget. Our office does not award any financial aid directly to students and the opportunities listed here are for institutions, who in turn leverage funding for various purposes that include student supports.
OSHE is seeking proposals from qualified vendors to design and implement a national landscape analysis of mergers, consolidations, and acquisitions of higher education with tailored insights based on New Jersey's higher education context. This project is a part of the State’s Fiscal Year 2026 investment in a merger consultant.
