HB0153/SB1706
would change homeschool qualifications for the HOPE scholarship by
reducing it from two years prior to graduation to one year and also
allow retroactive payments for those students who missed this cutoff.
HB1059/SB1724 adds a
definition to the lottery scholarship legislation to wit:
In order to be eligible for a Tennessee HOPE
scholarship to attend an eligible four-year post-secondary institution,
successfully complete the college core curriculum in high school. For
purposes of this subsection, "college core curriculum" means the high
school courses in the curriculum approved by the state board of
education for those students intending to pursue postsecondary
education;" Sponsor Rep. Delores Gresham is willing to hear from
homeschoolers regarding a better wording of this legislation. See
HB1059-SB1724 for details and contact
information.
