This Act significantly increases the minimum percentage of Federal Work-Study funds that colleges must dedicate to compensating students employed in community service roles. Depending on the program's total budget, this requirement will rise from 7% to up to 24%, creating more paid opportunities for students. It also reserves 1% of funds for technical assistance grants to help institutions improve and expand these community service programs, especially for underserved students.
Key points
