Bill Summary
This bill revises certain high school student financial aid application requirements. Under current law, beginning with the 2023-2024 grade 11 class, and for two years after, a board of education is to require a student, and the student's parent or guardian, as applicable, to complete and submit a financial aid application as a prerequisite to the student receiving a high school diploma unless a waiver is submitted. This bill makes permanent the requirement that students complete a financial aid application after the 2023-2024 school year.
AI Summary
This bill makes permanent the requirement that high school students complete a financial aid application, such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma. The bill removes the provision that this requirement would only be in effect for two years after the 2023-2024 school year, making it an ongoing requirement. The bill also provides resources to help students and their families complete the financial aid application, and prohibits schools from taking adverse action against students who receive an exemption from the requirement.
