This Monday, the Senate Committee on Higher Education met to discuss possible assistance programs for students.
In the meeting, they discussed matters relating to non-traditional adult learners, data flow between high schools and universities, and timely transfers for applicable students going through the process.
Senators on the committee also inquired as to the appropriation of funds awarded in previous grants, to which the witnesses stated the areas that the funds were allocated. Many stated that non-traditional adult learners require more assistance and programs aimed at their demographic.
The Senators on the committee acknowledged this need and also acknowledged the need for more resources for families that were financially affected by the pandemic. It is in this committee that legislation is likely to originate that provides some tuition and expense relief for students and families affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The committee is expected to consider further initiatives and programs aimed at meeting this purpose and the needs of these students.
