AI Summary

This bill aims to expand dual enrollment for high school students in Gateway Cities, which are a group of economically-distressed municipalities in Massachusetts. Specifically, the bill establishes the Access College Early (ACE) Program, which will provide needs-based financial assistance to eligible high school students living in or attending school in a Gateway City and who qualify for or receive free or reduced-price lunch. The ACE Program will allow these students to participate in the Commonwealth Dual Enrollment Partnership (CDEP) at no cost and earn up to 24 college credits while still in high school.
