Postsecondary Student Success Act of 2024

This bill creates competitive grants for colleges and universities to implement research-backed programs aimed at improving graduation rates for high-need students, including those from low-income backgrounds, first-generation college students, caregivers, students with disabilities, and military-connected students. Eligible institutions (like public colleges, Tribal Colleges, or partnerships) must use grant funds for specific evidence-based services such as mentoring, tutoring, career coaching, and improved transfer pathways between schools. The bill requires grantees to set annual outcome goals, evaluate program effectiveness, and report on student demographics and participation, with 2% of funds reserved specifically for Tribal Colleges and Universities. It focuses on concrete policy changes like requiring data-driven planning and accountability, rather than speculative outcomes.
