AI Summary
This bill removes the requirement that a student must not have been convicted of a violent felony in order to qualify for or maintain eligibility for a SEED scholarship, which provides tuition assistance for post-secondary education at Delaware Technical and Community College or the University of Delaware's Associate in Arts program. The bill repeals the provisions that previously barred students with violent felony convictions from receiving or maintaining SEED scholarships, as long as they meet the other eligibility criteria.
