Summary
The bill bars any higher‑education institution in Connecticut from lowering a student's financial aid because the student has earned a scholarship, whether private or public. Reductions are only allowed if the student's total aid already covers the cost of attendance or to meet athletic‑aid limits for student‑athletes. It aims to protect students from losing aid when they win scholarships.
