Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) on Wednesday signed an executive order
creating a scholarship program for all students who graduate public high
school in three years or less.
Students would be eligible for a one-time scholarship of up to $6,000 for tuition and expenses at a college in Maryland.
Hogan said that the new initiative, which would average about $6 million a year, is a “smart use” of state tax dollars.
“The
best and most important part of this program is that it makes college
more affordable and more accessible for Maryland students and families,”
he said in a statement. “By encouraging high-achieving students to
complete high school a year early, the state can reallocate what would
have been spent on a student’s last year of public high school, and help
with the first year of college instead.”...
