16-33A-2
Section 16-33A-2 Legislative findings; purpose of chapter. The Legislature declares
that there exists within the State of Alabama a number of accredited independent colleges
and universities whose facilities could be used more effectively in the public interest by
the grant of financial assistance to residents of the state who choose to attend such colleges
and universities, in order to pay a portion of such residents' institutional related expenses
at such colleges and universities, thereby reducing the cost to taxpayers of the state below
the cost of providing similar instruction to such residents at institutions of higher learning
within the state higher education system. The Legislature finds and declares that there is
