HB 225, sponsored by Rep. Kathy Swan, would make Missourians age 25 and older that have been out of school for at least two years eligible for a new full-ride college scholarship.
Eligible students must also have an adjusted gross income less than $80,000 per year for married couples or $40,000 for single taxpayers.
House members voted 101-49 Thursday to send the measure to the Senate.
The scholarship would cover full costs of tuition to earn a bachelor’s degree or for four semesters, whichever is less.
