Bill > SB90

This bill amends the Delaware State Inspire Scholarship Program to provide additional educational opportunities for students who complete their undergraduate degree at Delaware State University (DSU) before using all 8 semesters of scholarship eligibility. The bill clarifies and updates definitions related to the scholarship, including terms like "family," "full-time," and introduces a new term "eligibility period." The key provision allows students who complete their bachelor's degree early to use their remaining scholarship balance to pay for graduate degree tuition at DSU within 10 years of completing their undergraduate degree. Unlike the original undergraduate scholarship requirements, students using this remaining balance would not need to be enrolled full-time or maintain continuous enrollment. This change rewards students who complete their undergraduate studies efficiently by providing them with additional educational funding, effectively extending the value of the scholarship and creating more flexibility for students pursuing advanced degrees at Delaware State University.
