SR 11 New Jersey Senate · 2024-2025 Regular Session

Urges Congress and President to enact "College Cost Transparency and Student Protection Act."

This Senate resolution (SR 11) urges Congress and the President to pass the "College Cost Transparency and Student Protection Act" (H.R. 9429). It does not change laws itself but advocates for federal legislation requiring colleges to standardize financial aid offers, clearly list direct costs first followed by itemized indirect costs, and publish a College Scorecard showing average costs per institution. The resolution cites a GAO report finding that most schools understate net costs or omit key details, making it hard for students to compare options. This would directly help students and families make informed college cost decisions.
