Georgia proposes a $126M annual scholarship program to boost college enrollment and address future labor shortages.
Georgia is advancing a $126 million annual need-based scholarship program, the DREAMS Initiative, to combat declining in-state college enrollment and future labor shortages.
Proposed by a bipartisan committee led by Sen. Sarah Orrock, it includes $25 million in initial state funding and aims to expand access for low-income students, many of whom must work part-time to qualify.
Critics question how funds will be distributed, fearing bias toward well-endowed institutions and urging inclusion of private colleges and Pell Grant-based eligibility.
While supported by lawmakers including Sen. Max Burns, concerns persist over long-term financing, as a $1.8 billion endowment would be needed, and opposition remains to using lottery reserves to fund the program.
