Bill Summary
For legislation to establish the Finish Line Scholarship Program. Higher Education.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Finish Line Scholarship Program, which will provide scholarships to cover the entire cost of tuition and fees, excluding the first year, for residents of Massachusetts whose family income is below the state's median family income. The Department of Higher Education will set guidelines for the program, including eligibility requirements, selection criteria, and measures to increase student success and graduation rates. If funds are insufficient to cover all qualified applicants, the department will hold a lottery for the available scholarships. The program's funds are meant to supplement, not replace, existing financial aid programs in the Commonwealth.
