Extends eligibility for tuition benefit to dependents of members of United States Armed Forces who died while on active duty.
This bill extends New Jersey's tuition waiver benefit to dependents (children or surviving spouses) of any U.S. Armed Forces member who died while on active duty - not just New Jersey National Guard members. It allows eligible dependents to attend public colleges tuition-free for up to 16 credits per semester, while requiring them to apply for other grants and VA benefits first. Additionally, it creates a new 10% tuition-based monetary award for non-tuition costs like housing, meals, or supplies. The changes take effect immediately for the next full academic year.
