"Mississippi Promise Scholarship Act of 2025"; establish to provide tuition assistance for community college attendance.
HB 341, the Mississippi Promise Scholarship Act of 2025, creates a tuition assistance program for Mississippi students attending community colleges and other institutions offering associate's degrees. It provides a "last-dollar" scholarship covering tuition and mandatory fees not covered by Pell Grants or other state aid, administered by the Mississippi Community College Board. Eligible students must meet enrollment criteria (e.g., full-time or part-time attendance with specific credit hours) and complete high school at an eligible Mississippi school. The program supports Mississippi's goal to increase higher education attainment to 55% by 2030.
