S 2168 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Provides tuition fee waiver apprenticeship courses.

This bill waives tuition for the classroom portion of state-recognized apprenticeship programs at New Jersey public colleges and vocational schools for students with household income below the state median. To qualify, students must not have employer-covered tuition, exhaust federal financial aid options, and maintain active apprenticeship employment with satisfactory academic progress. The state will reimburse institutions for waived tuition costs, effective immediately for the next academic year. It directly affects low-income apprentices in eligible vocational training programs across New Jersey.
