AI Summary

This bill establishes a "Finish Line Grant Program" to provide scholarships to cover the entire cost of tuition and fees for one year, other than the first, at a Massachusetts public college or university. The scholarships are available to residents of the Commonwealth whose family income is less than 175% of the median family income in Massachusetts and who are in need of financial assistance. The Department of Higher Education will set guidelines for eligibility requirements, selection criteria, and other goals such as increasing overall student success and graduation rates, and lowering achievement gaps for high-risk students. The funds for this program are meant to supplement, not replace, existing scholarship funds.
