JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) Missouri Gov. Mike Parson’s proposal to offer scholarships for adults to study high-demand fields is meeting pushback from state senators.
Senate Education Committee members on Tuesday questioned whether a new
scholarship is needed, why the state should pay for that job training and which
programs would be covered.
Parson earlier this month proposed $22 million in grants to cover tuition for
adults over age 25 with household adjusted gross incomes of less than $80,000.
The proposed scholarships are called Fast-Track Workforce Incentive grants.
Republican Sen. Bob Onder says the proposal is being fast-tracked. He says he’s
not sure it’s well thought out.
