Expands eligibility to include students pursuing their first baccalaureate degree after a two-year stop-out period following completion of an associate degree, provided they did not previously receive a grant award

Maximum grant awards remain at $3,000 per semester for universities and $1,500 per semester for community colleges for full-time students
