Maddy summaryThis bill creates a New York State scholarship program to support undergraduate students pursuing STEM degrees (science, technology, engineering, math, and design). It directly affects high school graduates from New York who rank in the top 10% of their class and enroll full-time in STEM programs at NY colleges. The scholarship covers tuition costs (up to SUNY rates) but converts to a loan if recipients switch majors, fail to work in a NY STEM job for five years after graduation, or miss reporting requirements. The program aims to boost STEM education and workforce readiness by incentivizing both academic completion and post-graduation employment within the state.
