Permits member of New Jersey National Guard to transfer certain tuition benefit to spouse or dependent child.
This bill allows New Jersey National Guard members to transfer their tuition benefit to a spouse or dependent child. Currently, Guard members can attend public New Jersey colleges tuition-free for up to 16 credits per semester under specific conditions. The new provision permits transfer of this benefit to one spouse or child, who must also be enrolled in good standing at a public institution and have applied for all available state and federal grants/scholarships. It does not change the existing requirements for the original Guard member or the recipient.
