Education (Rural Communities)

SB 1271 amends the Rural Pennsylvania Revitalization Act to establish a new grant program for faculty members at institutions of higher education located in Pennsylvania. The bill sets the maximum grant amount at $100,000 and defines eligible recipients to include state universities, community colleges, private licensed schools, and other accredited colleges within the Commonwealth. These grants are intended to support qualified faculty, though the specific purposes for the funding are not detailed in the text. The legislation takes effect 60 days after its passage.
