To name the District of Columbia tuition assistance grant program the "Eleanor Holmes Norton District of Columbia Tuition Assistance Grant Program".
This bill proposes to rename the District of Columbia tuition assistance grant program to honor Eleanor Holmes Norton, a prominent figure who has made significant contributions to education and community support. This change would recognize Norton's dedication and efforts in providing educational opportunities to students in the District of Columbia.
The bill would affect students who are eligible for and currently receive tuition assistance from the District of Columbia. It would not change the eligibility criteria or the amount of assistance provided, but it would rename the program in honor of Norton.
HB9741 was introduced on July 16, 2026, and has been referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform for further consideration. No further action has been taken yet, and the bill is currently under review by the committee.
