Introduced Session

This bill requires that local graduation requirements adopted by boards of education will include a requirement that students complete and submit the free application for federal student aid, generally referred to as the FAFSA, beginning with the grade eleven class of the first full school year following the date of enactment of the bill. Students will be exempted from the requirement if a parent or guardian, or the student if the student is at least 18 years of age, signs and submits a form requesting the exemption. The bill also requires that the Commissioner of Education, in consultation with the Executive Director of the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority, publish a list of resources for school districts, parents and students, including instructions on how to complete and submit the FAFSA.
