HB 1279 College Scholarship Assistance Act.
Introduced by: Terrie L. Suit | all patrons ... notes | add to my profiles
SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
College Scholarship Assistance Act. Deletes references to any loans previously made under the College Scholarship Assistance Act, including repayment provisions and other requirements, and provides that the grant amount may not exceed the amount provided in the Appropriation Act. In addition, the measure provides that students may be eligible for these grants if they have not previously received an undergraduate degree at the same level (for example, a student who has an associate degree may receive a grant to pursue a four-year degree but not an additional two-year degree). The College Scholarship Assistance initiative provides a statewide program of financial aid to eligible undergraduate students at accredited, degree-granting public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education in Virginia. Currently, grants are capped at $2,000 per year. Students in those institutions or programs whose primary purpose is to provide religious training or theological education are not eligible for this aid. This bill is identical to SB 631.
