AI Summary

This bill aims to provide access to higher education for high school graduates in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. It amends state law to allow individuals who have attended and graduated from a high school in Massachusetts, except for those who are nonimmigrant aliens, to be eligible for in-state tuition rates and fees, as well as state-funded financial assistance, at public institutions of higher education in the state, such as the University of Massachusetts, state universities, state colleges, and community colleges. The bill also requires eligible individuals to provide a valid social security number or individual taxpayer identification number, and, if they are not U.S. citizens or legal permanent residents, an affidavit stating that they have applied or will apply for citizenship or legal permanent residence. Additionally, individuals subject to the federal Military Selective Service Act must register for such.
