Hathaway scholarship amendments.
HB 29 amends Wyoming's Hathaway scholarship program to increase scholarship awards and adjust fund management. It merges the reserve and expenditure accounts, increases the available balance in the expenditure account, and modifies investment rules to allow more flexible fund use. The key change increases the Hathaway opportunity scholarship to $840 per semester (based on enrollment hours) for qualifying students with a 2.50 high school GPA and 2015-2016 national percentile rank of 43 or higher on college entrance exams. These changes directly affect Wyoming students pursuing degrees or certificates at eligible institutions who meet the academic criteria. The bill also requires annual reporting of fund balances and transfers to the endowment fund.
