Relative to requiring institutions of higher education to provide uniform financial aid information to accepted applicants. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill requires institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to provide a uniform financial aid information shopping sheet to accepted applicants, including transfer students, within a reasonable time prior to the institution's enrollment deadline. The uniform financial aid information shopping sheet is a standardized form developed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Department of Education to assist accepted applicants in making decisions about enrolling in the institution. The bill also allows institutions to provide additional financial aid information on the shopping sheet, as long as the terms are consistent with the defined terms in the shopping sheet. The Department of Higher Education may also promulgate regulations to implement this requirement, which will be effective starting in the 2020-2021 academic year.
