Fiscal Analysis
The bill would require the University of North Texas at Dallas to establish a program to provide financial incentives such as tuition assistance or student loan repayments to students who agree to teach bilingual education.
Methodology
Although the bill does not specify how the program would be funded, for purposes of this fiscal note it is assumed the legislature would appropriate general revenue to support the program. Based on similar programs, the Higher Education Coordinating Board has estimated that 45 students would receive a maximum award amount of $4,300 in fiscal year 2010 resulting in a total cost of $193,500. This amount would increase in the future years as more students were awarded scholarships and the scholarships amount increased.
Local Government Impact
No fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
