Bill > S681

This bill aims to promote access to debt-free public higher education in Massachusetts. The key provisions are: 1. The Commonwealth will pay the tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students who: attend high school in Massachusetts for at least 3 years, graduate from a Massachusetts high school or equivalent, are Massachusetts residents, have an annual family income of $200,000 or less, apply for federal and state grants, are enrolled full-time (minimum 15 credits) at a Massachusetts public higher education institution, maintain a 2.7 GPA, and do not hold a bachelor's or higher degree. 2. The Commonwealth will also pay the housing and transportation costs for eligible students whose annual family income is not more than the state's median income, with the Board of Higher Education creating a formula to determine these payments based on the cost of living in the area of the student's institution.
