Bill overview
This bill, the Jumpstart Our Businesses by Supporting Students Act of 2023, expands eligibility for Federal Pell Grants to include students participating in certain short-term career training programs. Specifically, it creates a ‘Job Training Federal Pell Grant’ program for students enrolled in programs that provide at least 150 hours of training aligned with in-demand industry sectors, are part of a career pathway, and lead to a recognized postsecondary credential. The bill also clarifies how these grants impact a student’s overall Pell Grant eligibility and requires accrediting agencies to evaluate the quality of these training programs.
