Directs Secretary of Higher Education to conduct study to determine extent and cause of outmigration of high school graduates to out-of-State colleges.

S 153 directs New Jersey's Secretary of Higher Education to study why high school graduates choose out-of-state colleges over New Jersey institutions. The study will survey students, review academic and socioeconomic factors, compare college rankings, and consult guidance counselors. It requires a report within 18 months detailing the outmigration's extent, causes, and potential state actions to address it. This bill affects the state's higher education leadership and aims to inform future policy decisions.
