AI Summary
This bill proposes to create the Community College Scholarship Program to provide tuition-free scholarships for Vermont residents who attend the Community College of Vermont. The scholarships will cover the cost of tuition for up to 60 credit hours, minus any credits earned through early college and dual enrollment programs. The program will be administered by the Vermont Student Assistance Corporation (VSAC) and is subject to available funding deposited into the Community College Scholarship Fund, which will receive $6 million annually from the General Fund with adjustments for inflation. The bill also appropriates $400,000 from the General Fund to the Community College of Vermont to fund four full-time positions specializing in student academic support and mentoring.
