Description
Tuition Assistance Grant Program. Amends the criteria for institutions of higher education to be eligible to receive tuition assistance on behalf of eligible students. For an institution to be eligible, the institution must have either been receiving such funds as of January 1, 2011, or be a private, nationally recognized, regionally accredited, and nonprofit institution of collegiate education that is formed, chartered, or established within the Commonwealth. The bill requires the State Council of Higher Education to keep a current, and periodically updated, list of such institutions. Read the Bill »
