SB 358 Oklahoma Senate · 2024 Regular Session

Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program; removing requirement for prior school year attendance.

This bill modifies the Lindsey Nicole Henry Scholarships for Students with Disabilities Program by eliminating the requirement that applicants must have attended school during the previous year. The change directly affects students with disabilities who are eligible for the scholarship but may have gaps in their school attendance due to their specific needs. By removing this attendance rule, the program allows a broader range of qualified students to apply for financial assistance without meeting the prior year's enrollment condition. This adjustment streamlines the application process to better accommodate the diverse circumstances of students with disabilities.
