Doubling the educational award to equal twice the average in-state tuition at public 4-year universities.
Excluding national service educational awards and living allowances from taxable gross income.
Substantially increasing monthly living stipends and grant limits for service participants.
Establishing an outreach program to notify young adults (ages 17-30) about service opportunities.
Setting a long-term goal to reach one million national service participants annually by 2036.
