Students and Sponsor Outline 'Triple Win' Tuition‑credit Bill; Education Department Flags Implementation Costs
Summary
HB 770 would let high school students earn tuition credits for verified community service, aiming to boost volunteerism and make college more affordable. Supporters called it a “triple‑win,” but the Department of Education said staffing and tracking costs could be substantial.
Supporters described HB 770 as a “triple win” policy to expand volunteer opportunities for high school students, let participants earn tuition credits at New Hampshire public colleges, and make higher education more affordable.
Representative Peter Schultz introduced the concept to the committee, saying the bill grew from constituent ideas and seeks three goals: increase high school service opportunities, provide tuition credit at in‑state higher education institutions for verified service, and increase affordable access to state colleges. “The details maybe are not, but really was to look at 3 key components that we call the, you know, the triple play,” Schultz said.
