Bill Summary

Relative to the expansion of the valedictorian tuition waiver program in the public system of higher education. Higher Education.

AI Summary

This bill expands the existing valedictorian tuition waiver program within the public higher education system by allowing both public and private high school valedictorians in the Commonwealth to receive tuition and mandatory fee waivers for up to four years at a qualifying public institution, with the Commonwealth, not the individual institutions, covering the costs. Importantly, if a valedictorian does not use this waiver, it will not be offered to the salutatorian, and these expanded benefits will apply to Massachusetts valedictorians graduating from high school in 2016 or later.
