Establishes the Free Degree Promise Grant Program to provide free associate's degrees for eligible individuals at the Community College of Vermont.

The bill creates the Free Degree Promise Grant Program to provide funding for a free associate's degree at the Community College of Vermont (CCV) for eligible individuals. Eligible students must be enrolled full-time at CCV, have completed the State's Early College program, and meet other criteria such as not having earned a prior associate's degree and meeting satisfactory academic progress. The program aims to address equity gaps in college continuation rates, particularly among students with low income, Black students, students with disabilities, and male students.
