The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5, aims to enhance the financial support available through the Roberta B. Willis Scholarship program, which is established under section 10a-173 of the general statutes. The bill seeks to amend the current statutes to increase funding for this scholarship program, thereby improving access to higher education for eligible students.

The bill does not specify any deletions from current law but focuses solely on the insertion of new legal language to facilitate the increase in funding for the scholarship program. The overarching goal of this legislative initiative is to promote higher education affordability and accountability, ensuring that more students can benefit from financial assistance in pursuing their academic goals.
