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

higher education system. The Legislature finds and declares that there is an apparent need
to narrow the gap in student charges between public universities and colleges and independent
institutions of higher education in Alabama in order to provide students with true economic
and academic freedom of choice in selecting a college; and to...
