AI Summary

  • Public school students in grades 7-12 receive $4,625 for overload courses ($225 max each), dual credits ($75 per credit hour), AP/IB/CLEP exams, career technical education exams and workforce training, and college entrance exams (SAT, PSAT, ACT)

  • Nonpublic school students at accredited Idaho schools receive up to $2,500 for dual credits, postsecondary exams, career technical exams, and college entrance exams under the same per-credit limits

  • Early graduation scholarship expanded to cover all "educational costs" rather than just "tuition and fees" at Idaho public postsecondary institutions, equaling 35% of statewide average daily attendance funding per year saved

  • Community colleges may directly enroll homeschool students for dual enrollment courses, coordinated with the State Board of Education

  • Students who fail a course or exam must pay for and successfully complete one course or exam before receiving additional state reimbursements; college entrance exams (SAT, PSAT, ACT) are now explicitly exempted from the prohibition on retaking the same exam
