2. Exactly

if private schools were part of the program, then religious affiliation should not be relevant.

Edit: The following is the criteria:

All four-year public institutions of higher education, all county colleges and
private nonprofit institutions of higher education authorized to grant degrees,
organized under the New Jersey nonprofit corporation law and having an
endowment valued at less than $1 billion are eligible for this Program.

So I don't see why the religious schools would be excluded. I assume the $1 billion endowment clause was specifically to exclude Princeton.
