The proposed bill establishes the "First in Your Family Florida Medical School Scholarship and Grant Program" under section 1009.899 of the Florida Statutes, which will be administered by the Department of Education. This program aims to provide scholarships to students who are the first in their families to enroll in accredited medical schools or approved physician assistant programs, both in-state and out-of-state. The bill outlines specific eligibility criteria for scholarship applicants, including being a U.S. citizen and having a household income below $150,000. Additionally, it prioritizes students enrolled in in-state medical schools and sets forth guidelines for the distribution of scholarship funds, which can be used for emergency expenses and educational materials.

Furthermore, the bill authorizes the Department of Education to award grants to public postsecondary institutions or nonprofit organizations to develop nontraditional mentoring services or support programs for students in medical education. The maximum grant amount is capped at $100,000. To support the implementation of this program, the bill appropriates $10 million in recurring funds from the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal year 2025-2026 and subsequent years. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025.
