Bill Description

This bill would change the High-School-to-College Developmental Transition Grant program from its currentstructure as a special type of Minnesota State Grant to students in summer bridge programs to a competitivematching grant program for postsecondary institutions to help defray costs of offering such programs in hopes ofincreasing participation rates for students. Summer developmental programs will continue to address studentsacademic weaknesses (as identified in college readiness tests) by offering developmental courses in math and/orEnglish as well as surrounding support services.

Assumptions

None.

Full-time Equivalents

No impact.

Expenditure and/or Revenue Formula

Currently, up to $1 million per year is set aside in the State Grant appropriation for grants to students in approvedsummer developmental programs, but since the inception of the program, less than $50,000 has been used eachsummer. The new proposal would appropriate $250,000 per year for up to 10 matching grants to qualifyinginstitutions to help defray costs of offering a summer developmental program.

Long Term Fiscal Considerations

The program would have an on-going annual appropriation of $250,000 per year. Under current law, the funds forthe program have come from the appropriation for the Minnesota State Grant Program.

Local Government Costs

None.
