Plain-English summary
Educational Opportunity and Success Act of 2025
This bill reauthorizes through FY2030 and otherwise revises TRIO programs. (These outreach and student-services programs identify and provide services to students from disadvantaged backgrounds.)
Among other revisions to the programs, the bill
- prohibits the Department of Education (ED) from rejecting TRIO grant applications based on certain errors;
- requires ED to provide additional technical assistance to interested grant applicants;
- revises the outcome criteria for measuring the quality and effectiveness of the programs, including those programs specifically designed for veterans;
- allows program administrators to use a student's most recent Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA) to determine TRIO program eligibility; and
- increases the maximum stipend for students participating in the Upward Bound Program or the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Achievement Program.
