College Thriving Act
- education
What this bill does
- The federal government will award grants to colleges to teach first-year students skills like time management and stress management.
- All first-year students at participating colleges, especially those at institutions serving low-income students, will take these courses.
- Colleges with at least 50% Pell Grant-eligible students get funding priority; courses have low student-to-teacher ratios and are graded pass-fail.
