Student Debt Alternative and CTE Awareness Act
This bill requires the Department of Education to publish detailed information about career and technical education (CTE) programs on its website, including average completion time, program cost, post-graduation employment rates, and state-specific funding opportunities under the Perkins Act. It also mandates adding a one-page summary of this CTE data to the FAFSA application, requiring students to acknowledge it during the initial financial aid process. The policy directly affects students applying for federal student aid by making CTE pathways visible early in their decision-making. No new funding is authorized for these requirements, relying instead on existing resources to update website content and integrate the FAFSA disclosure.
