AI Summary
This bill aims to reform the institutional eligibility requirements for state-based financial aid in Massachusetts. It would prohibit state scholarship funds from being made available to students enrolled in any postsecondary educational institution that does not meet certain criteria, including a graduation rate of at least 30% for undergraduate students and an average 3-year cohort default rate of no more than 20%. The bill directs the Board of Higher Education to promulgate rules and regulations to implement these requirements, including procedures for determining which institutions meet the standards and a process for institutions to appeal determinations. The Board is also required to annually publish a list of institutions that meet the necessary requirements on the Department of Higher Education's website.
