Bill Summary

A bill for an act relating to higher education; appropriating money for a grant to Minnesota Independence College and Community for student scholarships and other specified purposes.

AI Summary

This bill appropriates a total of $6 million ($3 million in fiscal year 2026 and $3 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education. The money will be provided as a grant to Minnesota Independence College and Community to support several specific purposes, including need-based scholarships, tuition reduction, institutional support, and expanding educational programming. An important limitation is that scholarship and tuition reduction eligibility is restricted to "resident students" as defined in Minnesota Statutes, which typically means students who are Minnesota state residents and meet specific residency criteria. The bill aims to provide financial support to help students attend this specific educational institution by offering financial assistance and supporting the institution's operational and developmental needs.
