Plain-English summary
Early Pell Promise Act
This bill authorizes the Department of Education (ED) to carry out an Early Federal Pell Grant Commitment Program under which ED must make a commitment to award Pell Grants to certain students.
To be eligible to receive such a commitment, the student must be in grades 8 through 12 and a member of a household receiving assistance under the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
Pursuant to such a commitment, the student shall receive a Pell Grant during the first two academic years of attendance at an institution of higher education (IHE) as an undergraduate if the student
- files the Free Application for Federal Student Aid form for the award year in which the student will be in attendance at the IHE, and
- enrolls at the IHE not later than one year after receiving a secondary school diploma or not later than three years after release from the Armed Forces.
