ID H0386

Expands military dependent scholarship eligibility to include spouses and children of active-duty military members stationed in Idaho who are deployed to armed conflict areas and become prisoners of war, missing in action, killed, or totally and permanently disabled.

Establishes separate eligibility criteria requiring scholarship recipients to be Idaho residents and have completed secondary school or equivalent in Idaho, with children eligible regardless of birth timing relative to the qualifying event.

Requires spouses to have been married to the military member or public safety officer at the time of the qualifying event, and in disability cases, must remain currently married to receive benefits.

Changes the definition of "totally and permanently disabled" to require a current disability determination by the United States Social Security Administration instead of the previous standard regarding inability to perform gainful occupation.

Authorizes the State Board of Education and Board of Regents of the University of Idaho to adopt rules implementing both military member and public safety officer dependent scholarship programs.
