Students Helping Young Students Act of 2023

The Students Helping Young Students Act of 2023 amends the Higher Education Act to allow colleges to use Federal work-study funds for paying students who provide after-school educational activities at public elementary and secondary schools. It defines "after-school activities" as educational programs before, after, or during school breaks (including summer), and requires colleges to prioritize schools in low-income communities for these programs. The bill establishes a registration process for schools to join the program within 180 days of enactment and permits federal funding to cover more than 75% of student compensation costs. This directly affects colleges running work-study programs, public schools, and student workers providing after-school services.
