Allows students with intellectual disabilities in postsecondary education experience or transition programs to receive tuition assistance awards.

This bill amends the education law to allow students with intellectual disabilities enrolled in approved postsecondary education experience or transition programs to receive awards from the tuition assistance program. These programs must serve students with intellectual disabilities, provide individual supports and services, and focus on academic enrichment, socialization, independent living skills, and integrated work experiences. The bill also mandates the creation of a meaningful credential for students upon program completion.
