Utility Assistance Programs
If you need help with your utility bills, are in danger of utility shut off or are currently disconnected, apply for one of the free utility grant programs below and inform your utility company immediately. Don't delay, apply for energy assistance today!
If you are having trouble affording your utility bills, there is good news! New Jersey offers a diverse portfolio of utility assistance and energy efficiency programs for low- and moderate-income households. See income limits and program information below:
*If you are income eligible for USF/LIHEAP, apply for those programs first and then if still in need seek additional assistance from the PAGE program.
**Lifeline determines income in terms of married or single only and is for seniors and the disabled.

The New Jersey Department of Community Affairs (DCA) has a variety of programs that can help you with utility bills, rent and removal of lead hazards from your home. Use the anonymous "DCAid" screening tool to determine if you are eligible for assistance, and for more information on how to apply.

The Universal Service Fund (USF) provides monthly credits on electric and gas bills to help make bills more affordable. Credits are based on the amount you spend on energy that are over a certain percentage of income.

USF-Fresh Start: Eligible electric and gas customers with overdue balances of $60 or more will be automatically enrolled by their utility company into the Fresh Start program when they enroll in the USF program. Fresh Start provides forgiveness on the overdue balance amount that existed at the time of USF enrollment. Fresh Start is available once every five years. The gas and electric utility companies administer the Fresh Start program with oversight by the BPU.

How do I receive Fresh Start forgiveness for my overdue balance? Each month a USF-Fresh Start customer pays only their current monthly charges in full, 1/12 of their Fresh Start overdue balance will be forgiven by the utility company. (Some utility companies forgive up to ¼ of the customer's overdue balance once every three months). The utility company will send information to Fresh Start customers when they are enrolled explaining how the program works and updates regarding their status in the program. The customer should call their utility company with any Fresh Start questions but can reach out to the Board of Public Utilities at 800-624-0241 or file a complaint online at: www.nj.gov/bpu/assistance/complaints if the customer cannot resolve the issue with their utility company.
How do I apply for USF and USF-Fresh Start?
You can apply for USF in any of the following ways:*

*USF shares its application with the Home Energy Assistance Program (HEAP). You can apply for both programs at the same time during the HEAP season (10/1 - 6/30), or apply online for USF only during the summer months.

Note: You cannot apply for Fresh Start, but if you are eligible you will be enrolled by your utility company and receive information about Fresh Start in the mail.
USF is administered by the Department of Community Affairs. Fresh Start is administered by the utility companies with oversight by the Board of Public Utilities.

The HEAP program shares its application with the USF program. For application options please see above " How do I apply for USF and USF-Fresh Start?"
HEAP is administered by the New Jersey Department of Community Affairs

The Payment Assistance for Gas and Electric (PAGE) Program provides relief on gas and electric bills for low- to moderate-income New Jersey households (see income limits above). Those who are income eligible for USF should apply for USF first before seeking supplemental assistance from PAGE. To self-screen for program eligibility, apply online, or print an application, please visit www.njshares.org or call 1-866-657-4273.

Please call your utility company to request WTP protection. If you have any questions about WTP the utility cannot answer, please call the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities at: 800-624-0241.
The Winter Termination Program is administered by NJBPU.

Residential reconnection based on utility assistance application

While most U.S. college students rely on financial aid and scholarships to help them pay for higher education, BestColleges.com claims many African American students struggle with higher-education affordability including facing less financial aid availability at the institutional or collegiate level.JUMP TO HBCU SCHOLARSHIPS Minority students are also more commonly first-generation college students. These circumstances, in combination with fewer Black students completing and filing the FAFSA, are likely attributing factors leading them to resort to student loans to pay for college.

Students, regardless of race, should apply for and renew their FAFSA annually. Federal student aid should be considered the primary method of funding college, followed by scholarships and grants.

Metal Supermarkets Will Award $2,500 Scholarships to 4 Trade School Students

Metal Supermarkets is proud to support the skilled trades, and we want to make it easier for students to pursue one of these viable, stable and well-paying careers.

There is a ever-growing shortage of skilled trade workers across North America. The American Welding Society indicates 360,000 new welding professionals projected to be needed by 2027, and a study commissioned by Metal Supermarkets indicates that young people are simply not aware of possible skilled trades careers, with over 62% of respondents indicating they did not learn about trade school opportunities in high school. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, skilled trades have millions of unfilled positions across the U.S., with as many as 2.5 million more by 2029.

These careers are vital to a wide variety of industries, as well as to maintain and develop critical infrastructure. And during the COVID-19 pandemic, they have proven to be stable, essential jobs, with demand growing upwards of 100% for certain trade careers. In an effort to lessen this current skilled trade worker shortage and raise awareness of the skilled trade careers, Metal Supermarkets is committed to providing students with financial support to continue their education, grow their knowledge in their chosen field and ultimately enter the work force as a skilled tradesperson.

"The skilled trades don't just hold strong in an economic downturn-but they are among the rare sectors that continue to experience significant growth in an unpredictable job market" - Jill Quinn, Executive Leader, PeopleReady Skilled Trades.
Check out the past recipients of the Trade School Scholarship
Deadline to Apply:

June 28, 2024

Eligibility:

Students accepted to and attending a post-secondary trade school program with a semester beginning in 2024.

Open to citizens, permanent residents and resident aliens legally residing in the USA or Canada with a High School Diploma, GED or equivalent

Scholarship funds are payable to the winner's certified trade school in the United States or Canada.

Winner must enroll or already be enrolled in the upcoming semester.

Employees of Metal Supermarkets Franchising Family of Companies, its franchisees, franchisee staff or their family members may not enter.
