Grants for Colleges to Support Academic Success of Student Survivors of Violence.

This law establishes a new grant program allowing colleges and universities to fund specialized, trauma-informed academic counseling and tutoring for students who are survivors of sexual assault or other violence. The goal is to help these students maintain their academic performance and prevent them from dropping out due to the effects of trauma. Funds can also be used for staff training, increased mental health services, and re-entry assistance.
Key points
Colleges can receive funds to create confidential counseling and tutoring programs tailored to the needs of students recovering from trauma.
The funding must be used to provide better training for faculty and advisors on recognizing trauma and connecting survivors to appropriate support.
Priority for grants is given to institutions with a history of Title IX violations and minority-serving institutions.
