Establishes the Finish Line Scholarship Program to provide scholarships for Massachusetts residents in financial need.

The Finish Line Scholarship Program aims to support Massachusetts residents in financial need by offering scholarships to cover tuition and fees at public colleges and universities. Eligible students must have a family income below the state median and meet specific academic criteria. The program is designed to increase student success and graduation rates, particularly for high-risk students, and to reduce achievement gaps. Scholarships are available for one year beyond the first, and no student can receive more than one scholarship. If demand exceeds available funds, a lottery will be held.
