Missouri House approves scholarship for older adults
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.
