The bill would create an Education Department program to help pay for eligible dependents’ tuition, fees, and books at certain public colleges or training programs. It covers dependents of full-time first responders, educators or teachers, and government social workers who have at least 20 years of public service. Assistance could last up to four academic years. The program would begin one year after enactment.
If you are a dependent who meets the bill’s eligibility rules, you could receive assistance for study at a public college or qualifying public education or training program in a state where you qualify for in-state tuition. The assistance could be used alongside other student aid and would be exempt from federal income tax. The bill does not specify how to apply or how eligibility would be verified.
The program would cover tuition, fees, and books for up to four academic years. No publicly available information gives the program’s total cost or explains how it would be funded.
