SUMMARY AS PASSED SENATE: (all summaries)

Early Childhood Education Scholarship Loan. Establishes the Early Childhood Education Scholarship Loan Program, administered by the Board of Education, to increase the number of students pursuing careers in pre-elementary, early childhood, or kindergarten education. The Program will consist of scholarship loans awarded annually to undergraduate students attending nonprofit two or four-year institutions of higher education in the Commonwealth whose primary purpose is to provide collegiate or graduate education and not to provide religious training or theological education, who: (i) are enrolled full time in an approved bachelor or associate degree program of pre-elementary, early childhood, or kindergarten education and (ii) have and maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.5 on a 4.0 scale or its equivalent. Recipients must agree to repay the scholarship loan obligation through teaching (bachelor degree recipients) or employment (associate degree recipients) in the Commonwealth in pre-elementary, early childhood, or kindergarten education. The provisions of this act will not become effective unless an appropriation effectuating the purposes of this act is included in the 2000 appropriation act, passed during the 2000 Session of the General Assembly, and signed into law by the Governor.
