AI Summary
This bill amends the education law to provide scholarships for surviving dependent family members of New York State military personnel who have died while performing their official military duties. The scholarships can be used to cover tuition expenses at the State University of New York (SUNY) or the City University of New York (CUNY) schools. The bill expands the eligibility criteria for the existing "Military Enhanced Recognition, Incentive and Tribute (MERIT)" scholarship program to include dependents of military personnel who died or were severely disabled in the performance of their official duties, rather than just in combat zones or during training for combat operations.
