<p class="MsoNormal">HB 3564 is another financial aid-related bill to watch closely this session. The bill passed the House floor yesterday. The would create a scholarship program for teacher education students in college and expand a current teacher employment
incentive program. The bill would authorize scholarships of up to $1,000 each year for the first 3 years of college, $2,500 for the 4<sup>th</sup> year, and up to $4,000 per year for the first 5 years of teaching (up to a total of $20,000). The title on
the bill is “stricken” (which means the bill would have to come back to the House for another vote if the Senate passes it). The bill has a large estimated cost. Below are links to the current bill text and a bill summary/fiscal estimate prepared by legislative
staff.<o:p></o:p></p>
