VETERANS COULD SOON GET IN-STATE TUITION RATE

A bi-partisan bill to give in-state tuition rates to veterans advanced in a key Assembly committee. The bill provides that a veteran attending a public institution of higher education in New Jersey will be regarded as a resident of the state, thereby enabling him or her to pay an in-state tuition rate. The legislation is referred to as the New Jersey Tuition Equality for America’s Military (NJTEAM) Act. Sgt. Robert Andrzejczak was among the sponsors of the legislation.
