SB 932 Hearing - opportunity grants for undocumented students

Alert date: 
Sunday, June 14, 2015
Alert body: 

Senate Bill 932 would let those students — who must be Oregon high school graduates — receive state-funded, need-based college scholarships through the Oregon Opportunity Grant program. The scholarships are up to $2,000 per student per year.

The Ways and Means Committee will be having a hearing Monday morning at 8:30am. 

If you can't make it to the hearing, please consider submitting testimony, so that the Committee will understand how many people oppose such a bill.  There IS an emergency clause on this bill, as well.  Designed to prevent citizens from referring the bill to the ballot - as OFIR did with SB 833 - the driver card bill.

Read the article in the Register Guard for possible ideas for testimony.
