Students Helping Young Students Act of 2023
This bill amends the Higher Education Act to allow colleges to use Federal Work-Study funds to pay college students for tutoring and mentoring in after-school programs at public elementary and secondary schools. It requires colleges to prioritize schools in low-income communities and establishes a registration process for schools to participate. Key provisions include expanding work-study funding to cover after-school activities (like tutoring), allowing federal funding to exceed 75% of student compensation, and requiring training for students providing these services. The policy directly affects participating colleges, K-12 schools, and college students working in these programs.
