S 928 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides free tuition at public institutions of higher education for surviving spouses and dependent children of military personnel killed in performance of duties.

This bill provides free tuition at New Jersey public colleges for dependent children and surviving spouses of military personnel killed while performing duty. It covers only the portion of tuition not covered by other aid (like federal grants or existing scholarships). Eligibility lasts eight years for children (starting after high school graduation) or eight years for spouses (starting from the service member's death date). The policy applies to institutions like Rutgers, NJIT, and county colleges, with the state covering costs for qualifying students enrolled full-time in undergraduate programs.
