Bill > HR2960

This bill, the Community College Student Success Act, directs the Secretary of Education to establish and carry out a grant program that awards grants to eligible public 2-year institutions of higher education (known as "community colleges") to plan and implement programs that provide comprehensive support services and resources designed to increase transfer and graduation rates for eligible students. The bill defines an "eligible student" as a first-time or continuing undergraduate student enrolled at a community college who is pursuing an associate degree, carries a full-time course load, and needs no more than two remedial courses. The grant program provides planning grants for community colleges to develop implementation plans, as well as implementation grants for up to 5 years to cover the costs of the support programs. The bill requires community colleges receiving implementation grants to contribute increasing amounts of non-federal funds over the grant period. The bill also requires independent evaluations of the grant programs and reporting to Congress.
