AI Summary
This bill modifies the Hathaway scholarship program by changing how academic terms and years are defined, allowing for scholarships to be used in terms beyond the traditional fall and spring semesters, and adjusting the calculation of scholarship amounts for students with unmet financial needs. It also eliminates the requirement for students to maintain satisfactory academic progress, continuous enrollment, and minimum credit hours to receive the scholarship, while also repealing certain existing provisions related to scholarship eligibility and amounts. The bill specifies that students who received a Hathaway scholarship before July 1, 2026, will continue to receive it under the old rules, and the changes will take effect on that date.
