Bill > HR3709

This bill, the America's College Promise Act of 2017, aims to provide greater access to higher education for Americans. The key provisions of this bill include: 1. Establishing a partnership with states and Indian tribes to waive resident community college tuition and fees for eligible students, while maintaining state/tribal support for higher education and promoting reforms to improve student outcomes. 2. Providing grants to historically black colleges and universities, Hispanic-serving institutions, and other minority-serving institutions to encourage student enrollment and completion of bachelor's degrees, facilitate transfers from community colleges, and support institutional reforms to improve student outcomes. The bill authorizes significant federal funding over the next decade to support these initiatives, with the goal of making the first two years of community college tuition-free for eligible students nationwide.
