This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $20 million for the fiscal year 2025, specifically designated for Summer Tuition Aid Grants. It amends the current appropriations act to ensure that eligible students will receive 75 percent of the maximum grant amounts they qualify for under existing law. The funding is intended to support students who have received tuition aid grants in the previous fall or spring semester and are enrolled in at least six credit hours during the summer semester.

The bill also clarifies that the summer tuition aid grants will be awarded to students based on their enrollment status, with specific provisions for those taking six to eight credits receiving half of a full-time award, and those taking nine to eleven credits receiving three-quarters of a full-time award. The $20 million allocation will enable the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to provide these grants for the summer 2025 semester, ensuring that eligible students receive financial support for their summer coursework.
