This bill changes the rules for Kentucky's dual credit scholarship program, which helps high school students take college-level courses. It limits scholarships to courses in the statewide general education core or approved career and technical programs, awards funding on a first-come, first-served basis, and removes the rule that required students to repay half the scholarship if they did not pass a course. Who it may affect: high school students pursuing dual credit courses, their families, and Kentucky colleges and universities that offer dual credit programs.
