The program would allow laid-off and essential workers to receive grants covering their tuition and fees at an Alaska college, so long as they submit a Free Application for Federal Student Aid if eligible and meet other requirements. It would be open to part- and full-time students and have no age restrictions.
Annual funding for the program would be capped at $2.5 million. If the grants ran out, the bill would prioritize students demonstrating the most financial need.
