It aims to enhance both student financial aid and community educational resources.
Key points
College students can now be compensated through federal work-study funds for working in after-school, before-school, or summer educational activities at eligible elementary and secondary schools.
Schools, particularly those in low-income areas, will receive priority for student placements, enhancing educational support for children.
The program covers student compensation, including training and travel, with the federal share potentially exceeding 75%.
The Secretary of Education will establish a registration process for eligible schools to participate in this work-study program.
