SB1315/HB1532, which creates grants for students in grades 9-12 for college coursework, passed both the Tennessee House and Senate.
Who qualifies?
The grant would be for students attending Tennessee high schools (including home schools) who are also enrolled for credit in college courses at eligible postsecondary institutions. The ACT, SAT, and high school GPA are not used to determine eligibility. The high school student (1) must not be ineligible under the non-academic reasons provisions for HOPE scholarship eligibility, (2) must be a Tennessee resident for at least one year before applying for the grant, (3) must be admitted to an eligible postsecondary institution as a dual enrollment student, (4) and must apply for the grant.
