Bill > HB529

This bill removes the limit on the number of veterans who are eligible to receive a scholarship under the Edward T. and Mary A. Conroy Memorial Scholarship Program. The Conroy Memorial Scholarship Program provides financial assistance to military and public safety personnel, as well as their dependents, who meet certain eligibility criteria such as service-connected disabilities and exhaustion of federal veterans' educational benefits. The bill specifically deletes the provision that previously capped the number of eligible veteran recipients at 15 each year, making the program more accessible to veterans in need of financial aid for their postsecondary education.
