Higher education: financial aid; eligibility requirements for children of veterans tuition grants; modify. Amends secs. 2 & 4 of 2005 PA 248 (MCL 390.1342 & 390.1344).

This bill amends the Children of Veterans Tuition Grant Act to update eligibility requirements and financial aid amounts for students in Michigan. It allows children of Michigan veterans who died or were permanently disabled due to service-connected injuries to receive tuition grants, provided the students are between 16 and 26 years old, maintain a minimum 2.25 grade point average, and have lived in the state for the past year. The grant covers up to $2,800 per academic year for full-time students or half that amount for part-time students, with limits on receiving aid for no more than four years. Additionally, the legislation clarifies definitions for terms like "Michigan veteran" and "eligible institution" to ensure consistent application of the program.
