Florida Governor Rick Scott will be in Miami on Wednesday, signing a bill aimed at helping to make college more affordable for all residents – as well as making sure they don’t go into substantial debt in the process.
Scott will sign Senate Bill 396 into law at an afternoon event on the downtown campus of Miami Dade College. Starting this academic year, colleges and universities that disperse financial aid will have to provide information annually to students about loans they borrowed that year, and how much they have to pay back.
This bill is aimed to provide better transparency for students of Florida colleges and universities.
Scott will also talk about ways the state can make college more affordable for students - in hope of continuing to give students an equal opportunity at an education.
