Dr. William W. Sullivan TRIO Upward Bound Student Stipend Support...
To amend the Higher Education Act of 1965 to increase the maximum stipend amounts provided under Upward Bound projects.
This bill aims to increase the stipend amounts for students participating in the Upward Bound program, part of the TRIO initiatives. The program helps high school students from low-income families and those with disabilities prepare for college. By raising stipends, the bill seeks to better support students financially as they engage in educational activities and tutoring.
The proposed changes would primarily affect high school students who are part of the Upward Bound program. Increased stipends could help alleviate financial burdens, making it easier for these students to focus on their academic growth and college preparation activities.
HB7690 was introduced on February 25, 2026, and referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce on the same day. As of now, it is in the early stages of the legislative process and has not yet advanced further.
