Remedial Education Improvement Act

This bill would create a federal grant program to improve remedial education at colleges and universities. The Secretary of Education would award competitive 5-year grants of at least $500,000 to colleges, or partnerships of colleges with school agencies, to use one or more of five models, such as accelerated courses or taking remedial and college-level courses at the same time. Grant recipients would generally have to provide a 10 percent match from non-federal sources and report student-level data, which an independent evaluator would use to study results. The bill sets privacy rules and penalties for disclosing this data, allows federal student aid for up to 2 years of remedial enrollment in these programs, and authorizes $162.5 million per year for fiscal years 2027 through 2032.
