This bill creates a new federal grant program to improve remedial education at colleges and universities, awarding minimum $500,000 grants over five years to institutions implementing evidence-based approaches such as accelerated courses, co-requisite models where remedial instruction accompanies college courses, and comprehensive support programs. The grants prioritize institutions serving low-income students and require applicants to use multiple measures to identify students needing help, consult with stakeholders, and develop plans for long-term program sustainability. The bill authorizes $162.5 million annually through fiscal year 2032 and establishes strict protections for student data, including criminal penalties for unauthorized disclosure and a prohibition on selling data to third parties or sharing it with law enforcement and immigration agencies. By supporting five proven remedial education models and requiring data collection to evaluate their effectiveness, the legislation aims to help underprepared students progress through coursework and complete degrees while building evidence about which approaches work best.
