Plain-language summary

Beta

This bill would allow proprietary schools, which are for-profit career and trade schools, to participate in two state scholarship programs: the Dual Credit Scholarship Program and the Work Ready Kentucky Scholarship Program. Currently, these scholarships can only be used at certain approved institutions, and this bill would expand that list to include qualifying for-profit schools. Who it may affect: high school students pursuing dual credit courses and adults seeking workforce training or career credentials at for-profit trade or career schools.
