Bill with Billions in Higher Ed Funding Clears Key House of Representatives Subcommittee

Inside Higher Education reports that a key U.S. House of Representatives subcommittee yesterday approved a funding bill for the 2020 fiscal year that contains a number of increases in federal funding for higher education, including for Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants, Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Hispanic-serving Institutions, and federal work study.

Inside Higher Education: "The bill now goes to the full appropriations committee. The fiscal year 2020 funding bill, the first authored by House Democrats under the Trump administration, would increase the maximum Pell Grant by $150 to $6,345."
