6-82-1101. Creation -- Purpose.

The General Assembly hereby recognizes the importance to Arkansas of the General Educational Development Program for Arkansans desiring to complete the high school degree and go on to postsecondary education. Arkansas students who complete the General Educational Development Program and pass the General Educational Development Test are commended for their initiative and persistence. Those who succeed in this endeavor should also be encouraged to enroll in a postsecondary education program. To that end, there is hereby established the Second Effort Scholarship Program to reward the top ten (10) scorers each year on the General Educational Development Test with a scholarship to an Arkansas postsecondary school or college.
