Bill > HF3222

This bill modifies the state grant program eligibility by restricting participation to only not-for-profit private higher education institutions. Specifically, the bill amends Minnesota Statutes section 136A.121 by adding a new subdivision that defines an "eligible institution" as one that meets the existing definition in section 136A.101, subdivision 4, with a critical new requirement that private institutions must be operated not-for-profit to qualify for state grants. The change will take effect in the fall 2026 academic term, which provides for-profit institutions a transition period before losing their eligibility for the state grant program. By implementing this restriction, the bill aims to limit state financial support to educational institutions that are not driven by commercial profit motives, potentially promoting institutions with a more mission-driven approach to education.
