The state Senate has passed a bill that would add to the requirements for college-bound students applying for the top tiers of the Hathaway Scholarship. House Bill 177 passed on a 23-7 vote Tuesday. The bill heads back to the House for consideration of changes made by senators. The Senate version of the bill would require applicants for the Hathaway honors and performance level scholarships to take either an additional two years of foreign language or two years of either career and vocational education or fine and performing arts courses. The House bill doesn't allow the additional two years of foreign language as an option. Those classes would be in addition to the current requirements for math, science, language arts, social studies and a foreign language.
