Amends Tennessee financial aid eligibility criteria for Wilder-Naifeh technical skills and reconnect grants.

This bill amends Tennessee Code Annotated, Title 49, Chapter 4, to modify eligibility criteria for Wilder-Naifeh technical skills and reconnect grants. It specifies that a private, nonprofit technical school must be domiciled in Tennessee for at least 75 years, accredited by the Council on Occupational Education, and offer a baccalaureate degree through an articulation agreement with a Tennessee college of applied technology to qualify. It also adjusts the calculation of grant amounts for students attending these institutions.
