Bill > SF2406

This bill appropriates a total of $10 million ($5 million in fiscal year 2026 and $5 million in fiscal year 2027) from the state's general fund to the Office of Higher Education to provide emergency grants to students at Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU). These grants are designed to help students address immediate financial challenges that could potentially disrupt their academic progress, such as emergency housing, food, and transportation expenses. The legislation specifically requires that the grants be awarded directly to students and that MnSCU administrators ensure these emergency funds do not negatively impact the students' existing financial aid packages. By providing this targeted financial assistance, the bill aims to support students facing unexpected financial hardships and help them continue their educational pursuits without interruption.
