Bill Summary
This act would require any remaining funds in the enacted budget from the Rhode Island promise scholarship program or the Rhode Island hope scholarship program, after Rhode Island college has satisfied all eligible scholarships pursuant to those programs, to be reimbursed to onward we learn for any scholarships that onward we learn has paid on behalf of its students who have attended Rhode Island college in that fiscal year. This act would take effect upon passage.
AI Summary
This bill would amend the Onward We Learn Scholarship Act to redirect any unspent funds from the Rhode Island Promise Scholarship program and the Rhode Island Hope Scholarship program, after those programs have paid all their eligible scholarships, to reimburse the Onward We Learn scholarship program for scholarships it has already paid for students attending the Community College of Rhode Island and Rhode Island College, respectively. The Rhode Island Promise Scholarship program and the Rhode Island Hope Scholarship program are state initiatives designed to provide financial aid for higher education, and this bill aims to ensure that any leftover funds from these programs are used to support the Onward We Learn program, which also provides scholarships to students attending these institutions. This change would take effect immediately upon the bill's passage.
