National Guard SEAP scholarship; require MS Office of Student Financial Aid to administer payment to institutions.

Summary

The bill moves administration of the Mississippi National Guard’s State Educational Assistance Program scholarships from the Guard to the Mississippi Office of Student Financial Aid. It requires the Guard to send recipient names and schools to the aid office, which will then pay the institutions, and mandates the legislature to appropriate funds for the program’s support at colleges. This shift aims to centralize scholarship payments and place the cost burden on the state rather than the Guard.
