Plain-English Summary

The District of Columbia offers tuition assistance grants to help local students pay for college, and this bill would rename that program after Eleanor Holmes Norton, the longtime congressional representative from Washington, D.C. The change honors Norton's decades of service advocating for D.C. residents and education. Students receiving these grants would see the program's name reflect this tribute to her legacy.
