Community College | Repeals Michigan merit award scholarship program; creates new Michigan merit award program. Public Act 478
The new act would provide grant awards to Michigan students beginning with the high school class of 2007,
replacing the awards currently made under the Michigan Merit Award Act. Under the current program, students qualifying on all four parts of the high school Michigan Merit Exam,1 or through specified alternative exam-based qualifying methods, receive Merit
Awards of $2,500. Students performing well on the middle school MEAP exam can receive an additional award amount of up to $500. Awards are paid in two installments ($1,500 each for a student receiving the maximum $3,000 award) over the first two years of a
student's postsecondary enrollment. The FY 2006-07 appropriation for the program is $127.7 million.
Under the new act created by Senate Bill 1335, students completing two years of postsecondary education (associate's degree, two-year certificate, vocational education program, or 50 percent of the academic requirements for a bachelor's degree) would receive
a Michigan Promise Grant of $4,000. The payment schedule for this grant award would vary depending on a student's high school exam performance:
• Students not qualifying on the Merit Exam but completing two years of postsecondary education would receive an award of $4,000 after those two years.
• Students qualifying on the Merit Exam and completing two years of postsecondary education would receive $1,000 per year in the first two years and $2,000 at the end of two years. Students qualifying on the Merit Exam who did not complete two years of returned to the department. The bill states that no obligation would be created for a postsecondary institution to loan or advance money to a student for the payment of tuition or other costs.

(b) A student may enroll in courses offered by a state educational institution under the program on a full-time or part-time basis during grade 11 or grade 12, or both.
(c) A state educational institution that participates in an early college, a dual credit, or a dual enrollment program may, by agreement with a school corporation:
(1) ensure that the content and rigor of each course offered is adequate to warrant providing credit to a student as if the student took the course as a student at the state educational institution;
(2) set the criteria for the faculty member, instructor, or other individual responsible for teaching each course with the:
(A) state educational institution responsible for hiring the personnel to instruct dual credit courses taught by the state educational institution; and
(B) school corporation responsible for hiring personnel to instruct dual credit courses taught by the high school; and
(3) determine with the school corporation the terms and conditions under which:
(A) students may be admitted to the program while attending high school;
(B) the state educational institution will award credit, if any, for specified courses successfully completed by students through the school corporation; and

(e) Courses offered under the program that are listed in the:
(1) statewide core transfer library courses that are transferable on all campuses of the state educational institutions in accordance with the principles in IC 20-12-0.5-13; or
(2) articulation agreements that apply to any campus in the Ivy Tech Community College of Indiana system and to Vincennes University and draw from liberal arts and the technical, professional, and occupational fields;

If a student passes a course through the program that is part of an articulation agreement between the state educational institution offering the course and other state educational institutions, the course shall transfer under the terms and standards of the articulation agreement between the state educational institutions.
(f) Based on the demand for enrollment in the identified courses and the resources available to the state educational institutions, the identified courses may be offered through:

(2) available post-secondary credit;
(3) responsibilities of the student;
(4) any tuition and other costs;
(5) the consequences of the failure to complete a course; and
(6) other matters concerning the program and opportunities presented by the program.
Sec. 6. (a) A student may apply for enrollment to a state educational institution. The state educational institution shall accept or reject the student based on the standards ordinarily used to decide student enrollments. However, a student in the program may not be refused admission solely because the student has not graduated from a secondary school.
(b) A state educational institution may grant financial assistance to a student for courses taken under this program based on the student's:
(1) financial need; or
(2) academic achievement;
or any other criteria.
(c) A state educational institution shall waive tuition for a student who is:
(1) eligible for free or reduced lunch in high school;
(2) accepted into the program; and
(3) accepted for admission to the state educational institution.
Sec. 7. A student shall receive postsecondary credit toward meeting the degree requirements at the state educational institution at which the student successfully completed a dual credit course. If the student enrolls in a state educational institution other than the state educational institution at which a dual credit course was completed, the other state educational institution:
(1) shall grant credit for courses that are in the core transfer library or subject to an articulation agreement; and
(2) may grant credit for other courses.
Sec. 8. After June 30, 2008, a state educational institution or campus of a state educational institution that offers dual credit courses in liberal arts, professional, or career and technical disciplines must be accredited by the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.

| IL | Adopted 01/2006 | P-12
Postsec. | Establishes rules to implement the Grow Our Own Teacher Education Act. Allows consortia of at least one postsecondary institution, at least one school district or group of schools and at least one community organization to apply for a grant provided the application proves at least a subset of teachers typically prepared by the institution seeks employment in communities where hard-to-staff schools are located, and that the institution is not applying for funding for an existing consortium currently serving a group of candidates under a model substantially similar to that described in the Act. Establishes other requirements for potential applicants. Establishes procedures for grant RFPs. Establishes criteria for the review of proposals, including that:
--programs seek to attract diverse teacher candidates reflecting the diversity of students in hard-to-staff schools;
--the plan of work for the program include specific strategies for overcoming known barriers faced by the targeted schools in retaining qualified teachers as well as barriers faced by the individuals who make up the cohort to be enrolled in the program;
--faculty and relevant staff of the institution are knowledgeable regarding the needs of hard-to-staff schools and the specific issues that candidates from non-traditional backgrounds encounter when attempting to complete preparation for teaching careers;
--the community organization that is a member of the consortium has conducted projects or initiatives with a specific focus on involving parents and others in school improvement, either in the targeted schools or schools with similar characteristics, and has the capacity to recruit candidates for and support them as they progress through the program.
Requires the State Superintendent of Education to approve proposals for funding and make final determinations regarding the amounts to be provided based on specified criteria.
Establishes requirements and procedures for continuation of implementation funding.
During Fiscal Year 2006, requires the State Superintendent of Education to invite proposals from existing entities already engaged in teacher preparation initiatives whose principal features are congruent with those established the Act. Allows one or more entities whose proposals demonstrate that an eligible consortium exists and that a cohort of eligible candidates is being prepared for service in hard-to-staff positions or schools to receive implementation funding in accordance with an approved proposal and budget, depending upon the preparation status of the candidates, the amounts requested, and the availability of funding.
Establishes procedures for awarding planning grants.
Provides loans of up to $25,000 to candidates in Grow Your Own programs to complete their teacher training. States that any candidate who completes 5 years of service in a hard-to-staff school or hard-to-staff teaching position will be fully forgiven. However, if an individual has not assumed employment in a hard-to-staff school or position within two years after receiving a teaching certificate, the individual shall be required to begin the repayment (without interest) of amounts loaned through the program.
