Establishes a two-year pilot program for baccalaureate state colleges and universities to implement the Learn and Earn Program.

The bill introduces a two-year pilot program for baccalaureate state colleges and universities to implement the Learn and Earn Program. This initiative, starting from the 2026-2027 school year and continuing through the 2027-2028 school year, aims to benefit these institutions. Funds for the program will be kept separate from those allocated for state baccalaureate institutions. Any remaining funds at the end of the fiscal year will be carried forward for the next year. The council may allocate up to five percent of the funds for general program administration.
