(A) Encourage associate degree, certificate of proficiency program, and technical certificate program recipients and university juniors to complete a baccalaureate degree;
(B) Provide opportunities for students more than one (1) year out of high school to enter or reenter higher education;
(C) Provide an improved system of communication to students and parents about opportunities for higher education scholarships and grants in Arkansas; and
(D) Provide an evaluation and analysis of all state funding for scholarships and grants and how the funding advances the state's goals for higher education; and
(3) Changes to the Arkansas Academic Challenge Scholarship Program — Part 2 may be necessary from time to time to ensure the solvency of the program by spreading the program liabilities over a period of time while ensuring that there are scholarship dollars available for students who successfully complete their courses.
