What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, the Higher Educational Aids Board (HEAB) awards talent

incentive grants to uniquely needy students enrolled at public and private nonprofit

institutions of higher education in this state. Currently, HEAB may not award a

talent incentive grant to the same student for more than ten consecutive semesters.

In addition, under administrative rules promulgated by HEAB, a student must

maintain continuous enrollment to remain eligible for a talent incentive grant.

This bill provides that a student need not maintain continuous enrollment to

remain eligible for a talent incentive grant. Under the bill, HEAB may award a

talent incentive grant to the same student for up to ten semesters, whether or not

consecutive, but may not award a talent incentive grant to the same student more

than six years after the initial grant is awarded to that student.
