This bill proposes a supplemental appropriation of $1.2 million for the Community College Opportunity Grant program as part of the annual appropriations act for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2026. The funding is designated to support grants for eligible students, which cover the remaining costs of tuition and approved educational fees not met by other financial aid sources. To qualify for the grant, students must be enrolled in at least six credits, have no prior college degree, complete the necessary financial aid applications, meet specific academic progress standards, and have a household adjusted gross income between $0 and $65,000.

Additionally, the bill outlines provisions for prior grant recipients in the fiscal year 2026, allowing those with household incomes between $65,001 and $80,000 to receive up to half of the maximum award, while those with incomes between $80,001 and $100,000 may receive up to one third of the maximum award. The bill includes an insertion of $1,200,000 under the Grants-in-Aid category for the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, specifically allocated for the Community College Opportunity Grant. The act is set to take effect immediately upon passage.
