Bill Summary

Amend KRS 164.786 to include a proprietary school in the definition of "participating institution" for the purpose of the Dual Credit Scholarship Program; amend KRS 164.787 to include a proprietary school in the definition of "eligible institution" for the purpose of the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program.

AI Summary

This bill amends Kentucky law to expand eligibility for two scholarship programs to include proprietary schools, which are for-profit educational institutions. Specifically, it adds proprietary schools to the definition of "participating institution" for the Dual Credit Scholarship Program, allowing high school students to potentially earn college credit at these schools at no cost. Additionally, it includes proprietary schools in the definition of "eligible institution" for the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program, which helps Kentuckians obtain certificates, diplomas, or associate degrees in high-demand fields. This change aims to broaden access to these scholarship opportunities by recognizing a wider range of educational providers.
