SB133 Alabama 2010 Session

Under existing law, for purposes of the Alabama Student Grant Program, the definition of approved institution includes the requirement that the institution be nonprofit

This bill, for purposes of the Alabama Student Grant Program, would remove the requirement that an approved institution of higher learning be nonprofit and remove the qualifying requirement that an approved institution be formally seeking accreditation by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools

This bill would also provide further for the time when the acceptance of credits by other institutions would be sufficient to constitute an approved institution

To amend Section 16-33A-1, Code of Alabama 1975, relating to the Alabama Student Grant Program; to remove the term nonprofit from the definition of an approved institution; to remove the qualifying requirement that an approved institution be formally seeking accreditation by the Commission on Colleges of the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools; and to provide further for the time when the acceptance of credits by other institutions is sufficient to constitute an approved institution.
