On October 28, 2026, Houston Endowment committed $33.2 million over three years to nine Greater Houston community colleges, which enroll more than 195,000 students and graduate just 37 percent of starters, versus 67 percent at four-year schools. The money follows $500,000 planning grants to each college in 2025 and Texas House Bill 8, which ties state community college funding to credentials, transfers, and dual credit instead of enrollment. Here's how the initiative is built, why the plan-then-implement model matters, and what colleges and partners elsewhere can learn.

FAR 52.222-90 must be flowed into existing contracts by December 31, 2026.

The Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget projects a cumulative gap of $61 billion to $97 billion through 2035 even after the one-time fix.

The Pell program is the foundation of need-based federal student aid, but the structural mismatch between rising costs and appropriations is a permanent feature now. Here is what that means for institutions, foundations, and state higher-ed agencies.
