Bill > SB60

This bill generally revises laws related to financial aid programs. It amends the Montana Resident Student Financial Aid Program to establish three types of aid programs for undergraduate students: an incentive program to encourage students to pursue STEM and healthcare credentials, a merit program to recruit and retain high-achieving Montana resident students, and an access-based program to provide need-based scholarships. The bill also requires reporting on these programs and their impacts. Additionally, the bill dedicates a portion of lottery revenue to the Montana STEM Scholarship Program to fund scholarships for students pursuing STEM and healthcare degrees. The bill also repeals several provisions related to the Governor's Postsecondary Scholarship Program and the Montana Promise Grant Program.
