Requires four-year public institution of higher education to admit certain students diagnosed with cancer and sickle cell anemia.
This bill requires New Jersey's four-year public colleges to offer admission to undergraduate programs for students diagnosed with cancer or sickle cell anemia before age 24, who have lived in New Jersey for at least one year. Eligible students must apply before turning 24, and institutions must prioritize their admission, financial aid, and on-campus housing. Colleges may deny admission only for compelling reasons, with the Higher Education Secretary authorized to override denials. Institutions must annually report enrollment data to the Higher Education Secretary, who then shares totals with the Governor and Legislature.
