18A:71B-82 Findings relative to NJ STARS Program.
2. The Legislature finds that it is necessary for the State's citizens to acquire an education beyond the secondary level in order to succeed during the 21st century. A well-trained and educated population, moreover, is vital to New Jersey's efforts to attract and retain highly skilled businesses, and to ensure the State's continued economic well- being. It is therefore incumbent upon the Legislature to institute a program which will help high achieving students to pursue a post-secondary education.
