The Biden-Harris Administration has proposed new regulations that enable federally funded TRIO programs to serve Dreamers. In Washington, we serve these students in our Gear Up program. I'm honored to have played a small role in advancing this policy change as a member of the TRIO subcommittee of the recent negotiated rulemaking committee. https://lnkd.in/gvmdcGyW
• Increase Dreamers’ access to higher education through the federal TRIO programs. The TRIO programs are federal outreach and student services programs designed to identify and provide services for individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds, including low-income, first-generation college students, and students with disabilities. The proposed changes would expand eligibility to include students without immigration status who are enrolled in or seek to enroll in a high school in the United States, territories, or Freely Associated States. The expansion in eligibility would apply to the Upward Bound, Talent Search, and Educational Opportunity Center programs which serve students at the elementary and high school levels. These changes would increase high school completion, college access, enrollment, completion, and overall earnings of students without status.
