Requires State Board of Education high school graduation requirements include instruction on tuition assistance programs and student loan debt; requires high school students to meet with guidance counselor to discuss tuition assistance and dual enrollment.

This bill requires New Jersey high schools to include instruction on tuition assistance programs (like grants and scholarships) and student loan debt in their financial literacy curriculum for graduation. It affects all high school students by mandating that they meet with a guidance counselor during their 10th or 11th grade year to discuss financing options for college, including available aid and dual enrollment programs that allow earning college credit while still in high school. The curriculum must cover repayment requirements and consequences of unpaid student debt. The law takes effect immediately for all public high schools in the state.
