House Bill 1121, sponsored by Sherrell, amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 4, concerning financial aid eligibility. The bill specifically modifies Section 49-4-930(c)(2)(A) by deleting the existing language and substituting it with a new requirement that applicants must be sophomores, juniors, or seniors in high school to qualify for financial aid.

The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2025, emphasizing the importance of aligning financial aid eligibility with the academic standing of high school students. This change aims to streamline the criteria for financial aid applicants and ensure that support is directed towards students who are further along in their high school education.
