Four House members introduced the America’s College Promise Act of 2026, a proposal to make two years of community college and certain tribal college programs tuition- and fee-free for eligible students. The proposal would establish a federal-state partnership to cover costs.
Representatives Teresa Leger Fernández, Bobby Scott, Adelita Grijalva and Madeleine Dean, along with Senator Tammy Baldwin, introduced the America’s College Promise Act of 2026. The proposal would make two years of community college and certain tribal college programs tuition- and fee-free for eligible students.
The bill would create a federal-state partnership to cover costs, with the federal share starting at 100% in the first year and gradually declining. It would also support transfer credits, workforce credentials and student-success funding, including aid for low-income students and students at HBCUs and minority-serving institutions.
