Bill > S1484

This bill expands eligibility for the Florida Private Student Assistance Grant Program to include full-time degree-seeking students accepted at a competency-based nonprofit virtual postsecondary institution that meets specific criteria, such as being accredited by a member of the Council of Regional Accrediting Commissions, having an established location of operation in Florida, and maintaining a governing body or advisory board in the state. The bill maintains the existing eligibility requirements for the program, including demonstrated financial need and acceptance at a baccalaureate-degree-granting independent nonprofit college or university accredited by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. The bill also specifies that the grant can be awarded in the summer term, with priority given to students close to completing their degree or certificate program.
