This bill authorizes the Department of Education to award competitive grants to colleges and universities for programs designed to help high-need students succeed in higher education. High-need students are defined as those from low-income backgrounds, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, caregivers, students returning to education after stopping out, justice-impacted students, and military-connected students. The grants, available from fiscal years 2025 through 2030, will fund evidence-based practices such as academic mentoring and advising, tutoring, career coaching, accelerated learning programs like dual enrollment, and improved transfer pathways between institutions. At least 20 percent of funding must support programs using the most rigorous evidence-tier practices, while 2 percent of total funds are reserved specifically for Tribal Colleges and Universities. The Department must conduct evaluations to measure program effectiveness and submit a final report to Congress within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
