AI Summary
This bill, titled "Improving Students' Postsecondary Options," aims to increase access to postsecondary and workforce readiness programs by providing financial aid information and support. It creates a new grant program in the Department of Education to help local education providers develop and distribute information about completing the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) and the Colorado Application for State Financial Aid (CASFA). The bill also requires updates to financial literacy education and training to include more information about financial aid, and provides stipends for educators who complete training on supporting students with financial aid applications. Finally, it directs the Department of Higher Education to develop technology tools and resources to assist students and families in completing the FAFSA and CASFA.
