Description
Brown v. Board of Education Scholarship Awards Committee. Clarifies that the Brown v. Board of Education Scholarship Awards Committee may reduce the scholarship award to any student to ensure that, when the award is added to other financial assistance received by the student, the award does not produce a total of financial assistance in excess of the annual costs of tuition, excluding fees and expenses, and textbooks. Currently, state law requires that the award shall not exceed these annual costs. This bill requires all approved educational agencies enrolling scholarship recipients and receiving award disbursements on the behalf of such students to notify the Committee and the State Council of Higher Education prior to the start of each term, regarding the total of other financial assistance received by such students. Also, technical amendments have been made to conform provisions pertaining to the dual enrollment of students to the established procedures, protocol, and requirements for dual enrollment of college level students as currently in effect in the Commonwealth. This bill is a recommendation of the Brown v. Board of Education Scholarship Awards Committee. Read the Bill »
