How about some kind of GPA requirement to qualify? I'm not 100% on the idea but what does everybody think?

I wonder this as well; does the representative mean high school GPAs or university GPAs?

As the bill's sponsor, I also would like a clarification on this, too.

High school. For example, mandating a 2.5 or above and a decent attendance record or something like that. I don't know, what are peoples' ideas?

The amendment has been adopted.


so we have narrowed this several times, but it still remains unfunded.

Would it be possible to redirect money from somewhere to fund this?

I would rather not raise more taxes in a situation where unemployment is almost 8%.

I wouldn't oppose redirecting some money elsewhere fund this.

Since no one can come up with funding, I think we should move to rename this act since we have moved leagues away from Free College for all. It operates more as a merit based tuition subsidy for low income and middle class people.
