Amends TCA Title 49.

Tennessee SB0803 amends the eligibility criteria for the Tennessee Promise scholarship by expanding the definition of "eligible postsecondary institution" to include institutions accredited by the National Accrediting Commission of Career Arts and Sciences (NACCAS) that have their primary campus in Tennessee. This change affects students seeking financial aid for vocational programs leading to certificates or diplomas at these institutions. Key provisions include maintaining the scholarship amount equivalent to that available for the William R. Moore College of Technology and requiring that the Tennessee Student Assistance Corporation (TSAC) confirm the absence of available enrollment slots at local Tennessee Colleges of Applied Technology (TCAT) before awarding the scholarship.
