HB 1633 Mississippi House · 2025 Regular Session

MS Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Scholarship Program; extend repealer and bring forward certain statutes.

HB 1633 reenacts and extends Mississippi's Dual Enrollment/Dual Credit Scholarship Program (originally established in 2023), which provides state funding for high school students (grades 11-12) to take college courses while in high school. The bill extends the program's effective period and specifies that participating institutions (like community colleges and public universities) receive 40% of community college tuition rates per eligible credit hour, with students required to earn at least a C grade for transferable credits. It requires institutions to follow a state-approved procedures manual and mandates student participation in advising about course transferability via the Mississippi Articulation and Transfer Tool (MATT). The bill died in committee on February 4, 2025, and did not become law.
