AI Summary

This bill, the Fostering Leadership and Inclusion by Growing HBCU Training Act of 2020 (FLIGHT Act), requires the Secretary of Defense to establish two pilot programs. The first pilot program aims to reduce barriers to participation in the Senior Reserve Officers' Training Corps (SROTC) at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and minority institutions by creating partnerships between satellite or extension SROTC units and military installations. The second pilot program provides financial assistance to SROTC and Coast Guard College Student Pre-Commissioning Initiative members at these institutions to participate in flight training. The bill also requires the Secretary to establish evaluation metrics and submit reports on the pilot programs to Congress.
