Lisa, We are having a meeting with our financial aid office regarding the Hathaway scholarship next Wednesday. I will try to get some info prior to that and will definitely have a comment if it excludes the GED recipients. Thanks for bringing this up.

We wanted to pass that information along just in case you did not know that and had something to say! One of our comments that we would like feedback from and then to find out who might be responding for the field on the bill is the April 1, 2006 date that is mentioned. It says that one can become eligible for the scholarship if they graduate after April 1, 2006. This date works for this year's high school grads but not for our GED grads. This date will eliminate most grads for this 2005-06 program year. That date allows just the April and ½ of May grads. Is this everyone's understanding of the scholarship criteria as it stands? If so, and the field would like the state to comment on this as a proposed change for this year (if that was the intent of the comment period), then Margaret, would that be you or the commission? Please comment, everyone! Lisa Lisa Mixer ABE/GED Co-director Literacy Volunteers of Casper Tutor Coordinator 125 College Drive Casper, Wyoming 82601 307-268-2453 307-268-3021 fax
