Students' college support programs would move to the Department of Labor, while some scholarships would end.
This bill would shift the management of many college support programs from the Department of Education to the Department of Labor. This means students and colleges would work with a different federal agency for these programs. It would also end four specific scholarship and college access programs.
Today, the Department of Education manages 20 specific postsecondary education programs and four other scholarship and college access programs. If this bill becomes law, the Department of Labor would take over the management of those 20 programs, while the four scholarship and access programs would be ended entirely. This shift would mean students and colleges would work with a different federal agency for these key programs.
