West Virginia SB600 amends the Hope Scholarship Program by setting a maximum family income of $100,000 for eligibility, requiring any unused scholarship funds at the end of each fiscal year to be transferred to the student's resident school district, and prohibiting the use of scholarship funds for education services outside of West Virginia. The bill also mandates that scholarship funds can only be used for qualifying expenses such as tuition, fees, educational therapies, and curriculum.
