The bill proposes an amendment to section 15-1809.01 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, which pertains to the classification of students for tuition purposes. The new bill language removes the provision that a tuition waiver scholarship must be reduced by the amount of any other federal aid, scholarships, or public grants received, except for federal grants from the Department of Child Safety under the Arizona education and training voucher program. Instead, it introduces a clause ensuring that the tuition waiver scholarship is provided on the same terms to foster children in Arizona who are members of a federally recognized Indian tribe or who are children of members of such tribes.
