Spouses and children of first responders killed in the line of duty; provide scholarship for attendance at postsecondary institutions.

Summary

The bill would provide an eight‑semester tuition scholarship, excluding books and fees, to the spouses and children of Mississippi law‑enforcement officers, firefighters or other first responders who die or become permanently disabled while on duty. Benefits stop when a child turns 23, unless they began the program earlier, and scholarship renewal requires a 2.5 GPA and steady academic progress.
