HB 855 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Modifies provisions governing the "Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant"

HB 855 modifies Missouri's "Fast Track Workforce Incentive Grant" program to provide state-funded grants for eligible residents pursuing qualifying education or training. It directly affects Missouri residents aged 25+ or those not enrolled in school for two years, with income limits of $100,000 (joint) or $50,000 (single) adjusted annually for inflation after 2026. The grants cover related educational costs (like tools and books) for programs addressing occupational shortages, requiring enrollment in approved institutions or apprenticeships. Eligibility includes residency, income thresholds, and maintaining a 2.5 GPA for renewals, with grants expiring after four semesters or a bachelor's degree.
