Referred to the Committee on Armed Services, and in addition to the Committee on Education and Workforce, for a period to be subsequently determined by the Speaker, in each case for consideration of such provisions as fall within the jurisdiction of the committee concerned.
H.R. 4020 authorizes the Secretary of Defense to partner with colleges and universities to offer dual or concurrent enrollment programs for high school students attending Department of Defense schools. Under this bill, eligible high school students could take college-level courses and earn credits that count toward both their high school diploma and a future college degree, helping them get a head start on their higher education. The legislation also allows the Department of Defense to provide financial assistance to students to help pay for these programs. This would primarily benefit military-connected students at DoDEA schools located both in the United States and overseas, giving them greater access to advanced coursework while still in high school.
