The bill aims to reduce college costs for students to improve access to a diverse educator workforce.

The Diversifying by Investing in Educators and Students to Improve Outcomes For Youth Act, or Diversify Act, seeks to remove college cost as a barrier for students aspiring to join the educator workforce. It amends the TEACH Grants program under the Higher Education Act of 1965 to increase grant amounts and expand eligibility to include early childhood education programs. The bill also prohibits monetary penalties for failure to complete the service requirement and exempts the program from sequestration under the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985.
