More 1890 college scholarships every year
If enacted, students at 1890 colleges would see ongoing scholarship funding each year. The bill would add $15 million a year from the Commodity Credit Corporation starting in fiscal year 2025, and the money would not expire until used. It would also keep discretionary funding available each year. Scholarships could cover programs leading to a bachelor or graduate degree. Awards would still depend on funds being available.
