Senate Amendment 1
S 138 - Session 125 (2023-2024)
LIFE Scholarship eligibility

Senator Malloy proposes the following amendment (SMIN-138.AA0004S):

Amend the bill, as and if amended, SECTION 1, by striking Section 59-149-50(B) and inserting:

(B) Students receiving a LIFE Scholarship to retain it and students currently enrolled in an eligible institution to receive such a scholarship must earn a 3.0 cumulative grade point average on a 4.0 scale and earn at least thirty credit hours each year for the maximum of semesters permitted at that institution by Section 59-149-60. The cumulative grade point average calculation, for purposes of LIFE scholarship eligibility, must be inclusive of the student's grade point average at all public or independent institutions attended by the student. Beginning with the 2023 high school graduating class, a grade in a dual enrollment class shall not prevent a student from retaining their LIFE scholarship for their second year.
