TRIO Programs Receive Record Funding in House Spending Bill for Fiscal Year 2022

July 11, 2021

Today, the House Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education ("LHHS") released its funding bill for Fiscal Year (FY) 2022. Under this bill, the Federal TRIO Programs would receive a record increase of $200.8 million or a 18% increase, for a total appropriation of $1.3 billion for FY 2022 (program year 2022-23). This appropriation would be the same level as the Biden Administration's request.

TRIO FY 2022 funding will support the upcoming competitions for Upward Bound, Upward Bound Math-Science, Veterans Upward Bound, and the Ronald E. McNair Postbaccalaureate Education Program, as well as continuation awards for all current grantees.

This is the largest investment of any Congress in college access and success for low-income, first-generation students and students with disabilities. The bill also would increase the maximum Pell grant to $6,895 and provide a $40 million increase or 10% increase for GEAR UP for a total appropriation of $408 million.

The TRIO increase in this bill is a major step for TRIO students and families and the educators who serve them. If enacted, an even greater number of low-income and first-generation students, and students with disabilities - up to 150,000 additional students - will have access to the individualized programs and services they need to attain a postsecondary education.

The Subcommittee is expected to debate and vote on the LHHS funding bill on Monday, July 12th, beginning at 11 A.M. Eastern. You can watch the Subcommittee markup here. The full House Appropriations Committee is expected to vote on the LHHS funding bill on Thursday, July 15th, after which congressional leaders have stated they plan to bring the bill to a vote in the full House of Representatives by the end of July. The Senate is expected to release its funding bill for LHHS after Senators return from the August state work period.

It is the work of TRIO educators, parents, students and alumni that have brought us to this point. If your House Representative is a Member of the House LHHS Appropriations Subcommittee, please urge them to vote in favor of this strong TRIO funding increase in this bill. For all other Members of Congress, please thank them for their past support and ask them to support this TRIO funding increase as the spending bill moves forward this year. Contact info for all Representatives can be found here.

Sincerely,

Maureen Hoyler
President
