Tax Exemption for Post-Graduation Scholarships: Student Loan Repayment Support

This act aims to exclude post-graduation scholarships used for student loan repayment from taxable income. This means individuals receiving such scholarships and living/working in specific communities will have more disposable income, as they won't pay taxes on these funds. The goal is to encourage skilled individuals to settle in areas needing their expertise.
Key points
Money from scholarships used to repay student loans will not be counted as taxable income.
These scholarships must be granted by non-profit organizations and require the recipient to live and work in areas with lower bachelor's degree attainment rates.
The act aims to promote economic growth and encourage settlement in communities needing skilled workers.
Ensures no double tax benefit if student loan interest is already excluded from income due to the scholarship.
