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. The bill directly affects Mississippi high school students in grades 11-12 and participating public/community colleges, allowing them to receive funding covering 40% of community college tuition for up to six dual credit hours. 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.
