S 2934 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Prohibits misrepresentation of federal tuition benefits to service members and veterans and establishes public awareness campaign on certain higher education benefits available to service members and veterans.

This New Jersey bill prohibits colleges, career schools, and third-party recruiters from misleading service members or veterans about federal tuition benefits like the GI Bill. It bans false claims regarding enrollment costs, benefit applicability toward tuition, or the terms of student loans. The bill also requires the state to launch a public awareness campaign - run by the Higher Education Office and Military Affairs Department - to help veterans and service members understand how to verify eligibility for benefits, confirm if institutions accept those benefits, and access additional financial aid. This campaign aims to provide clear, practical guidance on navigating federal education benefits without advocating for specific institutions or programs.
