GRAD Act

The GRAD Act (H.R. 1282) would provide federal funding to the nonprofit organization Project GRAD USA to expand educational support services for students in low-income communities. The bill aims to increase high school graduation and college enrollment rates by funding integrated programs that offer research-based reading and math instruction, campus-based social services, and increased family involvement in schools. For eligible students, the practical impact includes access to college scholarships and dedicated assistance with college applications and financial aid forms.
