This bill increases the income thresholds for students to qualify for the Partners in Education scholarship program. Students from families earning up to 200% of the federal free-lunch income standard can now initially qualify (instead of a lower threshold), and after three years of eligibility, students from families earning up to 250% of that standard can continue receiving scholarships. This expands the program to help more middle-income families access educational scholarships for their children.
