A 6140 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 of disabled veteran.

This bill prohibits New Jersey's four-year public colleges from charging tuition or fees to the spouse of a disabled veteran who meets specific conditions. To qualify, the spouse must be enrolled as an undergraduate student in good standing, have applied for all eligible state and federal grants/scholarships, and applied for VA tuition benefits under the Post-9/11 GI Bill. The state will reimburse institutions for waived tuition and fees. The policy directly affects spouses of veterans certified by the VA as having a total, permanent service-connected disability.
