Bill Summary

Removes expected family contribution from calculation of financial need under circumstances in which public institutions of higher education may reduce student's institutional financial aid.

AI Summary

This bill removes the expected family contribution from the calculation of financial need for public institutions of higher education when determining a student's institutional financial aid. The financial need is now defined solely as the cost of attendance, as defined under federal law. This change allows public colleges and universities to potentially provide more institutional financial aid to students without factoring in the expected family contribution, which may help make higher education more accessible and affordable for students.
