Expressing support for the designation of November 8, 2025, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day".

HRES 850 is a symbolic congressional resolution designating November 8, 2025, as "National First-Generation College Celebration Day." It does not create new laws or policies but urges all Americans to recognize and celebrate first-generation college students (those whose parents did not earn bachelor's degrees) and the Higher Education Act of 1965, which established key support programs like TRIO and Pell Grants. The resolution acknowledges these students' unique challenges and contributions to the workforce without imposing any requirements or funding changes. It serves as a formal expression of support for existing initiatives, not a concrete policy action.
