South Dakota would create a new scholarship program called Dakota's Promise that provides financial aid to eligible South Dakota residents attending accredited colleges and universities in the state. To qualify, students must be South Dakota high school graduates who receive a federal Pell Grant and score at least twenty-two on the ACT test. The Board of Regents would manage the program and report its results to the Legislature.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
