Bill > SB7

This bill removes the June 30, 2030, termination date for awarding new scholarships under the Douglas J. J. Peters Veterans of the Afghanistan and Iraq Conflicts Scholarship program, meaning eligible individuals can apply for and receive these scholarships indefinitely. The scholarship, established to assist veterans and their dependents who served in or were affected by the Afghanistan or Iraq conflicts, provides financial aid for undergraduate or terminal certificate programs at eligible Maryland institutions, supplementing any federal benefits. The bill also renumbers existing sections of the law related to the scholarship's funding and administration, ensuring its continued operation and financial management.
