This bill enacts a new requirement for high school financial literacy courses in Louisiana by adding a specific topic to the curriculum. The new section, R.S. 17:270(B)(2)(n), mandates that the course must include instruction on "scholarships, grants, and other financial opportunities to pay for postsecondary education." This addition aims to enhance students' understanding of financial resources available for further education, thereby promoting informed decision-making regarding their financial futures.

The implementation of this requirement is set to begin in the 2025-2026 school year, allowing schools time to adjust their curricula accordingly. The bill reflects a commitment to improving financial literacy among high school students, equipping them with essential knowledge about funding options for postsecondary education.
