Summary

Thomas Nelson Community College; pilot program for high school seniors. Requires Thomas Nelson Community College to create a pilot program to allow certain high school seniors to enroll in Thomas Nelson Community College full-time. Tuition and fees would be paid as follows: one-third by the student, one-third by the local school division the student had attended immediately preceding the program, and one-third by the Commonwealth; however, tuition for any science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) course would be waived. In order to be eligible for this program, a student would need to have earned all credits required for a standard or advanced high school diploma by the end of the first semester of his senior year of high school. The provisions of this act will not become effective unless funded by the General Assembly during the 2012 Session.
