Recommendation to the full committee; Do Pass Appropriations and Budget Education Subcommittee
Summary
The bill lifts the family income ceiling for the tuition equalization grant from $50,000 to $80,000, letting more low‑ and middle‑income Oklahoma students qualify. It provides a grant of $2,000 per academic year (or $1,000 per semester) to full‑time undergraduates at approved private nonprofit colleges, and requires the State Regents to manage and report on the program. An emergency clause makes the changes take effect immediately after passage.
