Removes minimum year requirements for attendance at a New York high school when determining eligibility for certain student loans

This bill removes the requirement that students must have attended a New York high school for at least two years to qualify for certain state student loans. It allows graduates who attended a New York high school for any duration to apply for undergraduate loans within five years of graduation and graduate loans within ten years. The change directly affects New York high school graduates who may have left school early but still wish to pursue higher education using these financial awards.
