Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
H.Res. 958 is a symbolic resolution that commemorates the 60th anniversary of the Higher Education Act of 1965, which created the federal framework for student financial aid including grants, loans, and work-study programs. The resolution celebrates how this landmark law expanded college access for low-income students, first-generation college students, students with disabilities, and historically marginalized groups, while also supporting institutions serving these populations and establishing programs like Federal TRIO, Pell Grants, and loan forgiveness for public servants. The resolution does not provide any new funding or create new programs; instead, it formally reaffirms the House's commitment to expanding higher education access for all Americans regardless of background. There are no specific timelines or budget allocations associated with this measure, as resolutions are primarily statements of congressional intent rather than binding legislation. The resolution was introduced in December 2025 and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.
