Accessing Higher Education Opportunities Act

HR 2470, the Accessing Higher Education Opportunities Act, amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to create new federal grant programs. It authorizes funding for student support services (like counseling and mentoring) to help students transition from four-year colleges to doctoral programs preparing them for health care careers, and for expanding dual enrollment and early college high school programs. The bill allocates $107,795,000 for the first fiscal year after enactment, with no provision for extending this funding beyond that initial period. These changes directly affect students at participating four-year institutions and the institutions offering these programs.
