This bill would set clear immigration and residency rules for who can receive services from Federal TRIO programs. It says a person must be a U.S. citizen; a lawful permanent resident; someone in the U.S. for more than a temporary stay who can show the Department of Homeland Security they plan to become a permanent resident; a citizen of the Freely Associated States lawfully living in the U.S.; someone with CNMI resident status; or a lawful resident of one of the Freely Associated States. It also says these rules cannot be waived under certain federal funding laws or pilot projects. The bill makes some technical updates to cross-references in the Higher Education Act to match these changes.
