A 4192 New Jersey General Assembly · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Provides tuition benefits at public institutions of higher education to New Jersey residents who are members of reserve component of Armed Forces of United States.

This bill provides tuition-free education benefits at New Jersey's public colleges and universities for residents who serve in the Army, Navy, Marine, Air Force, or Coast Guard Reserves. It covers up to 16 credits per semester for undergraduate or graduate studies, provided recipients have completed required initial training, are enrolled full-time in good academic standing, and have applied for all available federal benefits (like Post-9/11 GI Bill benefits). The state reimburses public institutions for tuition costs not covered by federal programs. It also extends benefits to reservists interrupted by deployment, allowing them to resume tuition-free study after honorable discharge.
