Mississippi Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Scholarship Program Act; extend date of repeal.

SB 2521 extends the expiration date of Mississippi's Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Scholarship Program, which provides financial assistance for high school students taking college courses.

Key provisions include requiring institutions to follow established guidelines, mandating student participation in transfer advising, and ensuring credits earnable with a C or higher transfer statewide. This procedural bill maintains the existing program structure without changing eligibility rules or funding amounts.
