A resolution expressing support for the designation of November 8, 2024, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day".
SRES 903 is a non-binding Senate resolution designating November 8, 2024, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day." It expresses support for recognizing first-generation college students - those whose parents did not earn bachelor's degrees - and honors the anniversary of the 1965 Higher Education Act, which established key programs like Federal TRIO and Pell Grants. The resolution urges all Americans to celebrate this day, acknowledge first-gen students' contributions to the workforce, and recognize the Higher Education Act's role in supporting underrepresented students. It has no funding or policy changes, serving solely as a symbolic observance.
