Education

Q.  Is Nurse Corps scholarship considered income in NJ?

A. Yes

"Taxable Amount of Scholarships Included on Federal Return

New Jersey does tax scholarships and fellowship grants unless all three of the following apply:

• The primary purpose of the grants is to further the recipients’ education or training; and
• The grant does not represent payments for past, present, or future services nor payments for services that are subject to the direction or supervision of the grantor (e.g. a fellowship given in exchange for teaching); and
• The grant is not for the benefit of the grantor."
