Permits member of New Jersey National Guard to transfer certain tuition benefit to spouse of dependent child.
This bill allows New Jersey National Guard members to transfer their existing tuition benefit to a spouse or dependent child. Currently, Guard members can get tuition-free education at public colleges for up to 16 credits per semester under specific conditions. The bill adds that members who have completed basic training and are active in good standing may transfer this benefit to one spouse or child, provided the recipient is enrolled in good standing at a public college and has applied for all available state and federal financial aid. It does not create new benefits but expands who can use the existing tuition program.
