North Carolina SB 105: General Appropriations

North Carolina SB 105: General Appropriations

Signed in November 2021, this established the North Carolina Comprehensive Transition (CTP) Postsecondary Scholarship Program. The new scholarship program covers cost of attendance for NC students with intellectual disability (ID) enrolled in current and future CTPs within the UNC system (all North Carolina public universities). Individual institutions may determine the individual size of scholarships to give students based upon need and whether they have received other scholarships that will help cover cost of attendance. Any remaining funds that institutions have not issued in scholarships will be carried over into the coming years to support future CTP students with ID.

Also established a two-year pilot program at two community college campuses for training programs that provide opportunities for a micro-credential or other credentials that lead to increased employment outcomes for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
