S. 1347 would authorize federal grants to colleges and universities to expand dual enrollment and early college high school programs, allowing high school students to earn college credits while still in secondary school. The bill prioritizes funding for programs serving low-income students, rural students, and first-generation college students. Grant recipients could use funds for up to five years to cover teacher training, course development, student outreach, and program costs like tuition, books, and transportation (capped at 20 percent of grant funds). Colleges must track student enrollment and credit transfers and report outcomes to the federal government, with the Department of Education required to submit summaries to Congress every two years starting three years after enactment.
