Lawmakers consider lottery scholarship expansion

Students who wait to go to a two-year- post-secondary school would be eligible for a Lottery Scholarship under a bill that just passed the House.   

The House Education Committee Substitute for House Bill 27 sponsored by Rep. Sheryl Williams Stapleton cleared the House by a vote of 49-13.   
The legislation will extend the Legislative Lottery Scholarship eligibility to students who are accepted to attend a two-year state educational institution within two years of completion of a high school curriculum at a public or accredited private NM  high school,  receiving a high school equivalency diploma or beginning service in the US armed forces or honorable service or medical discharge from the service.
