Bill > A04608

This bill establishes a tuition award program for active members of the reserve armed forces of the United States. The program is administered by the Division of Military and Naval Affairs, which determines eligibility and issues certificates of eligibility. The tuition benefit is restricted to legal residents of New York State and can be used for either part-time or full-time study at recognized institutions of higher education. The benefit is limited to the actual annual tuition charged or the tuition charged by the State University of New York, whichever is lower, offset by any other available financial assistance. The bill also creates a Tuition Award Account within the state's Miscellaneous Special Revenue Fund to receive contributions and donations for the program. The program is effective for five years, with eligible recipients able to continue receiving benefits until the completion of their baccalaureate degree or cessation of active reserve status, whichever occurs first.
