Governor Carnahan says that Challenge scholarship legislation is the cornerstone to his educational efforts this year.

It would offer qualified Missouri students a tax credit to help defer the cost of a college education.

State Senator Ken Jacob says his Challenge Scholarship bill would make post-secondary education more affordable.

Jacob stressed that his bill gives money to students on a need basis.

Contents: Because I think that student financial aid should be based on financial need, which means family income plus cost of education.

Jacob's bill is targeted to cost between 70 and 80-million dollars once it becomes fully implemented in the year 2000.
