AI Summary

This bill requires public institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to provide financial literacy counseling to accepted applicants regarding student loans and other education-related expenses. The bill also authorizes the Board of Higher Education to provide a "financial aid shopping sheet" developed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the U.S. Department of Education, which includes estimated cost of attendance, grants, scholarships, work-study, and loan options. The institutions may provide an electronic version of the financial aid shopping sheet in a printable format, and the Board of Higher Education may issue regulations to implement this new requirement.
