Putting American Students First Act establishes immigration and residency requirements for Federal TRIO programs.
The Putting American Students First Act amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to establish specific immigration and residency requirements for individuals participating in Federal TRIO programs. Eligible participants must be U.S. nationals, lawful permanent residents, or residents of the Northern Mariana Islands or Freely Associated States. The bill also prohibits waivers of these requirements under certain conditions. Conforming amendments adjust references within the Higher Education Act to reflect these changes.
