Bill > S3783

This bill, the Community College Student Success Act, would establish a grant program to provide funding to eligible public 2-year institutions of higher education to plan and implement comprehensive student support programs. These programs would cover the cost of tuition and fees not covered by other financial aid, require students to meet regularly with advisors and tutors, and provide career services and other support. The goal is to increase graduation rates and transfer rates for eligible students, who must be enrolled full-time and meet certain academic criteria. The bill would provide planning grants and multi-year implementation grants, with institutions required to provide increasing non-federal matching funds over time. The Department of Education would evaluate the programs and provide technical assistance to grantees.
