AI Summary
This bill requires institutions of higher education in Massachusetts to provide a uniform financial aid information "shopping sheet" to all accepted applicants. The shopping sheet is a standardized form developed by the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and Department of Education to help students compare financial aid offers. The bill specifies that the shopping sheet must be provided to accepted applicants, including transfer students, within a reasonable time before the institution's enrollment deadline. The bill also allows institutions to provide additional financial aid information on the shopping sheet, as long as they use the same definitions as the federal template.
