The Senate Education Committee approved Senate Bill 611 which will make a number of changes to the Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship Program (TELS). Sen. Jamie Woodson (R-Knoxville), who serves as chairman of the committee, is sponsoring the legislation.
Legislative commitment to fiscally responsible policies has provided our legislature with an opportunity to thoughtfully expand our current Tennessee Education Lottery Scholarship Program, said Woodson.
The bill increases the award for a HOPE scholarship at a four-year school to $4000 and a two-year school to $2000. The Wilder-Naifeh Technical Skills Grant was also increased to $2000.
