Title
Alabama G.I. Dependent Scholarship Program, veterans, dependents, tuition assistance, disability requirements revised
Description

Under current law, the Alabama G.I. Dependent Scholarship Program provides scholarships to eligible dependents of disabled and deceased veterans that meet certain residency and disability requirements.

This bill would reduce the minimum disability rating for participation in the program for a disabled veteran to 20 percent.

Under current law the scholarship program is restricted to being the payer of last resort for school tuition and fees after all other scholarships and grants have been applied.

This bill would remove some restrictions that require that benefits of this program only be used after all federal or other benefits have been used.

This bill would also establish a pilot program to allow a certain number of dependents of eligible veterans to participate in the scholarship program.
