DE SB228

Allows SEED scholarship recipients to attend college part-time (fewer than 12 credit hours per semester) and maintain eligibility, expanding access beyond full-time enrollment requirements.

Permits students to take a "lapse in enrollment" of up to 2 consecutive semesters without losing scholarship eligibility, allowing time off for caregiving or work obligations.

Removes the "continuous" enrollment requirement, allowing non-consecutive semester participation while still meeting the 6-semester maximum program duration.

Adds definitions for "lapse in enrollment" (2 consecutive semesters without enrollment) and "part-time" status to clarify eligibility rules.

Makes technical corrections to conform statutory language to the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual by replacing "shall mean" with "means" and "shall" with present tense verbs.
