Representative Marcia L. Fudge Co-Introduces the Jumpstart on College Act

WASHINGTON – This week, Rep. Marcia L. Fudge (OH-11) joined Reps. Espaillat (NY-13), Dan Kildee (MI-05), Jhana Hayes (CT-05), Raja Krishnamoorthi (IL-08), and along with Senator Edward Markey (D-MA) to introduce the Jumpstart on College Act.  The bill will improve student access to college, increase affordability, and lead to higher degree completion rates by expanding dual enrollment and early college high school programs.

“Higher education and skilled training are pivotal steps in the path from cradle to career that many cannot afford,” said Rep. Fudge. “I believe the Jumpstart on College Act is a life-changing piece of legislation that will encourage the development of more early college and training programs providing additional options for students and their futures.  I am proud to co-introduce this and any legislation that will improve college retention and completion rates.”
