AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to the opportunity scholarship program in Washington. It expands the definition of "eligible county" to include any county that shares a border with Canada and has a population over 125,000. The bill also allows students in eligible registered apprenticeship programs to qualify for the opportunity scholarship, in addition to those enrolled in community or technical colleges. The income eligibility threshold is increased from 125% to 125% of the state median family income, and students in eligible advanced degree programs may have a family income greater than 125% if they can demonstrate financial need. The bill also requires students to maintain satisfactory academic progress to remain eligible for the scholarship.
