Bill > HF2572

This bill appropriates $10 million total ($5 million in fiscal year 2026 and $5 million in fiscal year 2027) from the general fund to the Minnesota Office of Higher Education specifically for emergency grants to students in the Minnesota State Colleges and Universities (MnSCU) system. The emergency grants are designed to help students address immediate financial needs that could potentially disrupt their academic progress, such as emergency housing, food, and transportation expenses. The legislation specifically requires that MnSCU institutions administer these grants directly to students and ensure that receiving these emergency funds does not negatively impact the students' existing financial aid packages. By providing this targeted financial assistance, the bill aims to support student retention and help students overcome short-term financial challenges that might otherwise prevent them from completing their academic term or program.
