This bill creates a grant program under which the Technical College System
Board may award grants of up to $1,000 to technical college students who have
undertaken an apprenticeship program in conjunction with their course of
instruction at the technical college. These grants may be awarded only to assist
students in paying materials expenses associated with the apprenticeship program,
including costs of purchasing tools, clothing, equipment, and supplies. The TCS
Board must establish an application process and criteria for awarding these grants,
which criteria must consider the financial need and anticipated or actual expenses
of the applicant. The TCS Board may award grants totaling up to $100,000 per
academic year.
