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 for high school students and their parents or guardians to complete and submit a financial aid application, such as the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA), as a prerequisite to receiving a high school diploma, unless a waiver is submitted. The bill also requires the Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to provide resources to assist schools, parents, and students with completing the financial aid application, and requires the Authority to report on the number of students who completed the application and the number of waivers submitted.
