15 professional-technical school within the state of Idaho without the necessity
16 of paying tuition and fees therefor; that such student shall be provided with

STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 11639
This proposal increases the scholarship amount for children of
Prisoners of War from Idaho from two hundred dollars ($200.00)
to five hundred dollars ($500.00) each semester. This scholarship
would match the Peace Officer/Firefighter scholarship.
FISCAL IMPACT
The cost would be three hundred dollars ($300.00) per semester,
six hundred dollars ($600.00) per school year. It is believed
there is only one scholarship recipient at present.
