A 2134 New Jersey General Assembly · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits four-year public institution of higher education from charging tuition and fees to student who is spouse or dependent child of disabled veteran.

This bill would allow spouses and dependent children of disabled veterans to attend New Jersey's four-year public colleges tuition-free. To qualify, students must be enrolled in an undergraduate program, apply for all available state/federal grants/scholarships, and apply for VA education benefits under the Post-9/11 Act. The state would reimburse colleges for waived tuition and fees. It directly affects disabled veterans' families pursuing undergraduate degrees at public institutions.
