Relating to a grant program for living expenses for certain students enrolled at public institutions of higher education.
HB 2476 creates a state grant program to cover living expenses for eligible students at Texas public colleges. It directly affects homeless students or minors whose minority status was removed under Texas law, requiring institutions to assess eligibility and notify the state comptroller. The program provides grants covering housing, food, and other living costs during enrollment, with funds administered by the state treasurer and not reducing other financial aid. The grant amount is determined to cover full living expenses regardless of summer term enrollment.
