Summary
The bill changes the Kentucky Educational Excellence Scholarship by tying cash awards to a student’s high‑school GPA and by allowing students in approved exchange programs, congressional page schools, or out‑of‑state schools because of a military parent to qualify. It also creates a one‑time ACT‑score bonus for students who graduated before June 30 1999 and declares an emergency so the changes take effect right away.
