Bill > SB72

This bill amends the ReEngage Alabama Grant Program, administered by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education (ACHE), to lower the minimum age for an "adult learner" from 25 to 22 years old, making more individuals eligible for grant assistance. It also revises the definition of an "eligible student" to include those pursuing their first associate or baccalaureate degree, or those pursuing their first baccalaureate degree after a two-year break following the completion of their first associate degree, provided they haven't received a grant award before. The bill also clarifies that grant renewals are contingent on continuous enrollment until degree completion, which can now be either an associate or baccalaureate degree, or a baccalaureate degree following the specified stop-out period. The ReEngage Alabama Grant Program provides financial awards to eligible adult learners to help cover tuition and mandatory fees at approved Alabama institutions.
