House Bill 1521: Creation of College Scholarship Program

Author:
Representative Tony Goolsby (District 102)

Summary:
This bill would create the TexasNextStep scholarship program, which would provide a grant to eligible students enrolled in two-year colleges in Texas. Homeschoolers are specifically included in the bill. While the bill is a good one, we are opposed to inclusion of the term "home school," as it opens the door for new regulation of homeschoolers.

HSLDA will support this bill if the term "home school" is removed.

Action Requested:
None at this time.
