The Stockton University Board of Trustees approved the 2023-24 operating budget and welcomed President Joe Bertolino at a meeting recently. One of the ways Bertolino proposed doing this is launching new academic programs and offerings, including graduate programs like a new Master of Science in Accounting approved at the meeting at Stockton Atlantic City’s John F. Scarpa Academic Center. The board approved the capital budget and a $270.9 million 2023-24 operating budget. The budget includes $23.1 million in student aid, including $20.5 million in scholarships and need-based grants.
