Establishes a grant program to cover tuition and fees for eligible students at Massachusetts public higher education institutions.

The bill establishes a grant program to cover the equivalent of tuition and mandatory fees for eligible students at Massachusetts public higher education institutions. Eligible students must have attended a high school in the commonwealth for three or more years and graduated or attained the equivalent. The grant program will supplement, not replace, other forms of aid. The Board of Higher Education will manage the program, ensuring it does not affect eligibility for other state grants, gift aid, institutional aid, or federal aid.
