AI Summary
This bill amends the Board of Higher Education Act and the Public Community College Act to provide financial compensation for student members serving on these boards. Specifically, the bill introduces a $500 scholarship award per semester for student board members who are currently enrolled in an institution of higher education. The scholarship would be directly payable to the student's institution and can be used to cover educational expenses such as tuition, fees, books, and supplies. Prior to this bill, board members served without compensation and were only reimbursed for travel and other expenses related to their board duties. The legislation aims to support and incentivize student participation in these important educational governance bodies by providing a modest financial benefit to student board members.
