Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.
H.Res. 340 is a symbolic resolution recognizing April 2025 as "Community College Month" to celebrate the more than 1,000 community colleges operating across the United States. The resolution highlights the importance of these institutions, which serve approximately 10.2 million credit and noncredit students and function as the primary source of workforce training and affordable higher education access in the country. Community colleges are notably affordable, with average annual tuition of under $4,000 for in-district students, and serve a diverse population including working adults, low-income students, veterans, and first-generation college students. According to the resolution, community college graduates contributed $898.5 billion to the national economy in 2020, and every dollar of public funding for community colleges generates $6.80 in tax revenue. This resolution does not allocate funding or create any new programs—it simply expresses congressional recognition of community colleges' economic and educational significance to the nation.
