Parity for Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian Students in Agriculture Act

This bill amends federal grant programs to support agriculture education at institutions serving Alaska Native and Native Hawaiian communities. It requires these grants to last no longer than three years (previously indefinite) and increases annual funding from $10 million to $15 million for fiscal years 2024 through 2028. The changes directly affect Alaska Native-serving and Native Hawaiian-serving institutions receiving agriculture education grants under the National Agricultural Research, Extension, and Teaching Policy Act. The key provisions establish fixed grant durations and boost funding levels to better support these specific educational programs. These adjustments aim to provide more stable, predictable resources for student programs in agricultural fields.
