HB2466 amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act to allow incarcerated students to be eligible for the AIM HIGH Grant Program.

HB2466 amends the Higher Education Student Assistance Act by removing the exclusion of academic programs for incarcerated students from the definition of "institution of higher learning," "qualified institution," and "institution." It also removes the requirement that applicants for the AIM HIGH Grant Program must not be incarcerated. The AIM HIGH Grant Program provides grants to eligible students attending public universities in Illinois, with specific eligibility criteria including financial need, enrollment status, and academic performance.
