The bill amends the definition of "student" under the Arkansas Concurrent Challenge Scholarship Program. Specifically, it expands the eligibility criteria to include students in grade nine (9) in addition to those already included in grades ten (10), eleven (11), and twelve (12).

This change allows a broader range of students to participate in the scholarship program, which is designed to support high school students enrolled in public or private high schools, as well as those in home school settings as defined by existing law.
