Today we celebrate another win for Kansas families. The Hero’s Scholarship, formerly known as the Wartime Survivors and First Responders Bill was signed into law. It clarifies the definition of disability and spouse, as well as raises the $350,000 annual monetary cap to $500,000. This bill expands the law providing post-secondary tuition assistance for a spouse or dependent of an emergency service provider or military service member who died while in the line of duty to include public service employees and those disabled while performing duties.
