This bill would expand two state scholarship programs, the Dual Credit Scholarship Program and the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program, to include for-profit (proprietary) schools as eligible institutions. Currently, students attending proprietary schools may not qualify for these scholarships, and this change would allow them to participate. Who it may affect: high school students seeking dual credit courses and adults pursuing workforce training at for-profit schools.
