What Restrictions Exist for Justice-System Impacted Populations within the State's Two Largest State Aid Programs? 50-State Comparison: State Financial Aid Barriers for Students Impacted by the Justice System
Education Commission of the States
The eligibility rules of state financial aid programs vary widely by state and by program. This is also true of eligibility rules pertaining to students impacted by the justice system. This goal of this resource is to enable stakeholders to compare eligibility requirements pertaining to justice system impact across major aid programs and states.This 50-State Comparison contains the 100 state financial aid grant programs found in the "50-State Comparison: Need- and Merit-Based Financial Aid." These programs represent the two largest programs in each state or jurisdiction. New data pertaining to these programs' eligibility requirements -- specifically, written rules and agency practices that result in aid ineligibility for students impacted by the justice system -- were collected for this resource. This resource identifies the following per state: (1) system-impacted population (four categories of conditions that affect aid eligibility (e.g., Incarceration, Criminal Convictions, Drug Convictions, None)); (2) statute citation (citation for the eligibility rule in state laws); (3) statute text (text of the statutory eligibility rule that affects system-impacted students); (4) regulation citation (citation for the eligibility rule in state regulations or administrative codes); (5) regulation text (text of the regulatory eligibility rule that affects system-impacted students); (6) agency rule citation (citation for the agency (i.e., state higher education department, financial aid agency) practice that results in system-impacted students being denied state aid); and (7) agency rule text (text of an agency rule or a description of the practice employed by agency officials that results in system-impacted students being denied state aid).
