Bill Summary

Establish certain provisions regarding the opportunity scholarship program.

AI Summary

This bill establishes certain provisions regarding the South Dakota Opportunity Scholarship program. It allows students receiving alternative instruction (homeschooling) to be eligible for the scholarship if they meet certain criteria, including being a South Dakota resident, achieving a minimum ACT or SAT score, completing specific high school course requirements, and attending an accredited university or college in South Dakota. The bill also outlines the duration of eligibility for the scholarship, which is generally four academic years or until the student attains a bachelor's degree, with some exceptions granted for good cause. Additionally, the bill provides for partial scholarships for students who attend an out-of-state institution for up to two years before returning to South Dakota.
