Bill > SB166

This bill modifies the eligibility requirements for the West Virginia Invests Grant Program, a state initiative aimed at providing financial aid for post-secondary education. Specifically, it allows individuals who have previously earned a college degree to still qualify for the grant if they are pursuing an associate degree or certificate in an emergency medical services program. The WV Invests Grant Program is designed to help West Virginia residents obtain degrees and certificates in high-demand fields, with the goal of encouraging them to stay and work in the state. The bill clarifies that this new provision is an exception to the general rule that grant recipients should not have previously been awarded a post-secondary degree.
