Senate tentatively passes med school tuition waiver
From the Kansan's Wire Services
TOPEKA-Medical students who agree to practice in Kansas would receive tuition waivers under a bill tentatively approved yesterday by the Senate.
A final vote on the measure was set for today.
The bill provides for waiver of the University of Kansas Medical School tuition for those students who agree to practice somewhere in Kansas upon graduation. It also would provide a monthly stipend of $600 to students who further agree to practice somewhere in Kansas. These areas would be determined by the Department of Health and Environment.
THE ORIGINAL bill also included a tuition increase that would have increased student fees from the current $125 to about $5,000 a year. However, that provision was dropped when the Kansai Board of Regents decided to increase need school tuition to $3,000.
several senators questioned the tuition increase saying it placed too much of a hardship on medical students. Sien. Wint Winter, R-Ottawa, who carried the bill in floor debate, provided figures indicating the $3,000 tuition would put Kansas slightly "on the high side" if other institutions in the state had "houses ranging from $278 to $12,500."
Besides the medical scholarship bill, the Senate received two new bills which include some of Gov. Robert F. Bennett's tax reform legislation.
The medical scholarship bill would cost a potential $3.7 million annually, if every student at the KU Medical School participated, based on present enrollment.
One is Bennett's proposed revision of the state's eight-year-old property tax lid law, and the other is a bill increasing the amounts of income the elderly and handicapped can have without paying any state income taxes by about one-third.
