Bill > SF2331

This bill appropriates $500,000 in both fiscal years 2026 and 2027 from the general fund to the commissioner of higher education, who will immediately transfer the funds to Wallin Education Partners. The purpose of this grant is to support programming for low-income students that focuses on college admission and graduation, including services like financial aid, advising, and career development. The funding is specifically restricted to programs supporting Minnesota residents attending colleges and universities within the state. Additionally, the bill requires Wallin Education Partners to submit an annual report by February 1st to legislative committee chairs detailing the activities funded by the appropriation. The report must provide comprehensive information about the students served, including their demographics, the educational institutions they attend, their high schools of origin, and the geographic distribution of the student population. By providing these targeted resources, the bill aims to help low-income students successfully navigate the college admission and graduation process.
