Student Debt Alternative and CTE Awareness Act
This bill requires the Department of Education to publish and regularly update online information about career and technical education (CTE) programs, including their average completion time, cost, and graduate employment rates, plus state-specific program opportunities and funding options under the Perkins Act. It also mandates adding a one-page summary of this CTE information to the beginning of the FAFSA application, along with an acknowledgment signature box, to inform students about CTE as a viable alternative to four-year degrees. The disclosure must include details on Workforce Pell Grants and program availability. No new funding is authorized to implement these requirements. The bill directly affects students applying for federal student aid by providing clearer information about CTE pathways.
