Education; tuition equalization grants; expand definition of an approved school to include certain institutions which offer programs in nursing

Summary

The bill amends the definition of an “approved school” for tuition equalization grants so that private, for‑profit colleges in Georgia that offer baccalaureate nursing programs and meet specific accreditation and NCLEX pass‑rate standards can receive the grants. The change applies only to the nursing programs at those schools and does not affect eligibility for other state scholarship or loan programs. It is intended to help address the state’s shortage of qualified nurses.
