To provide additional funding for scholarships for students at 1890 institutions, and for other purposes.

HR 1271 increases funding for scholarships at 1890 institutions - historically Black colleges and universities established under the Second Morrill Act - by adding mandatory annual support. It amends existing law to explicitly include bachelor's and graduate programs in scholarship eligibility and requires $15 million annually from the Commodity Credit Corporation starting in fiscal year 2025, to remain available until spent. This funding directly supports students at these institutions by expanding access to financial aid for higher education. The bill updates previous funding language to ensure ongoing support beyond 2023.
