Establishing the Kansas first responder scholarship program to provide postsecondary tuition assistance to certain first responders and dependents of such first responders.

Summary

The bill would let eligible firefighters, EMTs, police officers, and public‑safety telecommunicators, as well as their qualifying children, attend college tuition‑free for up to ten semesters. To qualify, a responder must have at least six years of service (or twelve years for a dependent), be licensed, reside in Kansas, have no bachelor’s degree, meet the school’s admission standards, and first apply for other federal or state aid. The state board of regents would run the program and reimburse schools from appropriated funds.
