Overview
This bill establishes the "Domestic Violence Tuition Waiver Program" in New Jersey. It directs the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to provide tuition waivers or state-paid tuition to victims of domestic violence who were unable to complete their studies due to the violence. Eligible applicants must have a restraining order or a statement from law enforcement confirming their cooperation in a domestic violence investigation, and the waiver is limited to one semester of tuition for incomplete coursework. The program is designed to help these individuals return to their education.
