Bill overview
This bill requires New Jersey’s public colleges and universities to offer an alternative scholarship to student-athletes who lose their athletic scholarships due to a qualifying injury or illness. The scholarship must be equivalent in value to the lost athletic scholarship and can cover the remainder of the student’s undergraduate enrollment or up to five academic years. This ensures student-athletes injured while participating in athletics receive continued financial support for their education.
