AI Summary
This bill expands eligibility for the Florida Postsecondary 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 and having a location of operation and governing body or advisory board in Florida for at least one year. The bill also allows awards to be made to full-time certificate-seeking students at certain aviation maintenance schools located in Florida.
