Bill > HB125

This bill revises the ReEngage Alabama Grant Program, administered by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), by lowering the minimum age for an "adult learner" from 25 to 22 years old, and expands eligibility for the grant. Previously, an "eligible student" needed to have completed the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and be pursuing their first associate or baccalaureate degree. Now, an eligible student can also be someone pursuing their first baccalaureate degree after a two-year break in enrollment following the receipt of their first associate degree, provided they haven't received a ReEngage grant before. The bill also clarifies that grant renewals can be for either the first associate or baccalaureate degree, or for the first baccalaureate degree following the aforementioned two-year stop-out period after an associate degree without prior grant receipt, ensuring continuous enrollment and academic progress.
