GRAD Act

This bill changes the Higher Education Act of 1965 to widen eligibility for federal master's degree program grants. It would let any Historically Black College or University (part B institution) that offers a qualified master's degree program, and is not already named in the law, apply for these grants. It would do the same for Predominantly Black Institutions that offer a qualified master's degree program and are not already listed. It also changes how leftover grant funds are divided, replacing fixed dollar thresholds ($9,000,000 and $2,500,000) with any amount remaining after the earlier funding step.
