Require postsecondary institution participation in the Nebraska Statewide Workforce and Education Reporting System for the Nebraska Career Scholarship Act

Nebraska bill LB 1247 requires public colleges and universities participating in the Nebraska Career Scholarship Act to submit specific workforce and education data to the Nebraska Statewide Workforce and Education Reporting System. This applies directly to institutions receiving Career Scholarship funds, including Nebraska State Colleges and the University of Nebraska. Key provisions mandate annual reporting on scholarship recipient enrollment, retention, graduation rates, and post-graduation employment in related fields. Failure to comply with these data submission requirements would result in the loss of scholarship funding for the institution. The bill amends existing scholarship act sections to enforce this reporting as a condition for funding.
