Bill Summary
For legislation to establish the Finish Line Scholarship program. Higher Education.
AI Summary
This bill establishes the Finish Line Scholarship Program, which will provide scholarships to cover the entire cost of tuition and fees, other than the first year, for residents of Massachusetts who are enrolled in an associate's or bachelor's degree program at a public college or university and have a family income below the state's median. The Department of Higher Education will set guidelines for the program, including eligibility requirements, selection criteria, and goals such as increasing student success and graduation rates. If funding is insufficient, scholarships will be awarded through a lottery, and the program's funds are meant to supplement, not replace, existing financial aid.
