Bill > SB84

This bill amends existing South Dakota law to increase the financial thresholds for eligibility and the value of scholarships provided through the "partners in education scholarship" program, which offers grants to eligible students to cover tuition and fees at qualifying nonpublic or tribally controlled schools. Specifically, the bill adjusts the income requirements for students to be considered "eligible students," meaning their household income can be higher than previously allowed to qualify for the scholarship, and also modifies the income standard for "low-income eligible students." The "partners in education scholarship" program, often referred to as the "program," is designed to provide educational opportunities to students, and this bill aims to expand access by making more families eligible for financial assistance.
