This bill amends the Wyoming's Tomorrow Scholarship Program by eliminating the continuous enrollment requirement necessary to maintain scholarship eligibility. Specifically, it repeals W.S. 21-16-1904(c)(iv), which previously mandated that students must remain continuously enrolled to qualify for the scholarship. The removal of this provision aims to provide greater flexibility for students in managing their educational paths without jeopardizing their scholarship status.
Additionally, the bill establishes that starting from the 2025-2026 school year, scholarship awards will be funded from the Wyoming's Tomorrow Scholarship Expenditure Account, as the Wyoming's Tomorrow Scholarship Endowment Fund has reached the required minimum balance of $50 million. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
