Free College Credits: Expanding Dual Enrollment for High School Students.

This law aims to lower the cost of higher education by expanding programs that allow high school students to earn college credits early. Thanks to new grants, eligible students will not have to pay tuition, fees, or books for university courses taken during high school. This directly reduces future student debt and eases the transition to college, especially for individuals from lower-income families.
Key points
High school students can earn university credits for free through dual or concurrent enrollment programs.
Federal grants will cover tuition, fees, and instructional materials, eliminating costs for students.
Priority access to these programs is given to students from low-income families, rural communities, and first-generation college students.
