AI Summary
This bill establishes an Early Federal Pell Grant Commitment Program, which allows the Secretary of Education to award grants to states to pay for administrative expenses and commit to awarding Federal Pell Grants to eligible students. To be eligible, a student must be in grades 8-12 and a member of a household receiving Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits. Eligible students will receive a commitment to receive a Pell Grant for their first two years of undergraduate study, as long as they apply for financial aid and enroll in college within a certain timeframe. The bill also requires states to develop targeted information campaigns to provide students and families with details on higher education costs, Pell Grants, and other financial aid opportunities.
