Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2026
To authorize the Secretary of Education to award grants to create evidence-based student success programs designed to increase participation, retention, and completion rates of high-need students.
This bill, HB9300, aims to help more students succeed in college by creating programs that focus on helping those who need it the most. These programs would be designed to increase the number of students who start college, stay in college, and finish their degrees. The Secretary of Education would give grants to schools and organizations to develop these programs.
Students who might benefit the most from these programs include those from low-income families, first-generation college students, and students from underrepresented groups. By supporting these students, the bill aims to make college more accessible and successful for everyone.
HB9300 was introduced on June 11, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Education and Workforce. This means it is now being reviewed by a committee that will decide if it should move forward in the legislative process. The bill has several co-sponsors and one primary sponsor, all of whom are Democrats.
