Referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce.

2026-04-30

The proposal would raise the maximum amount of federal financial aid that low- and middle-income students can receive to attend college, making it easier for more families to afford higher education. It would also give colleges and universities more flexibility in deciding which students qualify for this aid. Students and families struggling with college costs would be the primary beneficiaries of these changes.
