Amends TCA Title 49, Chapter 4, Part 7.

Tennessee HB0504 amends the Tennessee Future Teacher Scholarship Act to expand eligibility for scholarships to post-baccalaureate students enrolled in approved educator preparation programs and reduces the service obligation from four years to two years. The bill also changes the scholarship amount from a variable based on tuition and fees to a flat $3,500 per academic year, while retaining the program's termination date of July 1, 2028. These changes aim to support a broader range of candidates pursuing teaching careers in Tennessee.
