Title
Scholarship program, to create for dependents of long-term law enforcement officers
Description

Existing law provides that in certain circumstances a child or a spouse of a law enforcement officer who is killed or totally disabled in the line of duty may receive financial assistance to pay college tuition.

This bill would establish a program to pay tuition and associated expenses on behalf of children and spouses of long-term city, county, and state law enforcement officers. This bill would provide that the scholarship money may be used for an undergraduate course of study offered by a public or private technical school, college, or university in the State of Alabama.

This bill would also provide for the administration of this scholarship by the Alabama Commission on Higher Education; and would require annual reporting on the program to the Legislature.
