S 9105 New York Senate · 2025 Regular Session

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

This bill removes a requirement that students attend a New York high school for at least two years to qualify for certain state student loans. It directly affects New York high school graduates applying for undergraduate or graduate student loans under the state's higher education programs. The key change amends eligibility criteria in the Education Law, eliminating the two-year attendance rule while maintaining other requirements like graduation and timely application (within five years for undergrad, ten for grad). The policy change simplifies access to specific loans for students who may not have met the prior attendance threshold.
