Bill > HF2417

This bill provides $500,000 in state funding for each of two fiscal years (2026 and 2027) to Wallin Education Partners, a nonprofit organization focused on supporting low-income students in their college admission and graduation efforts. The appropriation will be transferred from the general fund through the commissioner of higher education, and is specifically designated to support programming that includes financial aid, academic advising, and career development. The funding is restricted to programs serving Minnesota residents who are attending colleges and universities within the state. As a condition of receiving these funds, Wallin Education Partners is required to submit an annual report by February 1st to legislative committee chairs detailing the impact of the appropriation. This 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 participants. The bill aims to enhance college access and success for low-income students in Minnesota by providing targeted support services.
