Bill > HF1791

This bill allows school districts to provide postsecondary scholarships and grants specifically for students in career and technical education (CTE) programs. Under the proposed legislation, school districts can set aside net proceeds from CTE programs (when program revenue exceeds program costs) to fund scholarships and grants for eligible students. To qualify, students must apply during their senior year, successfully complete the CTE course that generated the proceeds, and graduate from a Minnesota high school. These scholarships and grants can be used for various postsecondary expenses, including tuition, certificate program costs, apprenticeship program expenses, or workforce/military-related supplies. The school board will determine the individual scholarship or grant amount based on the program's net proceeds, and districts must report their revenue and expenditures for these programs to the Minnesota Department of Education. The legislation will become effective on July 1, 2025, and aims to provide financial support and incentives for students pursuing career and technical education pathways.
