Bill > SB240

This bill enacts the Vocational Training Scholarship Act, which authorizes tuition scholarships for students attending vocational training programs at community colleges in New Mexico. The bill defines key terms such as "community college," "vocational training program," and "tuition scholarship." It sets eligibility criteria for students, including completing 10th grade with a 2.0 GPA, earning a high school equivalency credential, and maintaining New Mexico residency. The bill also creates the Vocational Training Scholarship Fund, appropriates $2.55 million from the general fund to the fund, and directs the Higher Education Department to administer the scholarship program.
