Lowest recognized family responsibility amount for purposes of determining state grant awards modification

This bill modifies how Minnesota calculates family responsibility amounts for state grant awards, directly affecting students and families applying for financial aid. It changes the calculation method so that any negative parental or student contribution is treated as zero rather than allowing negative values to reduce grant eligibility. The bill also updates how part-time students have their family responsibility prorated based on credit enrollment. These changes take effect for state grant awards starting in the summer 2026 academic term.
