The College Thriving Act aims to enhance the success of first-year college students by providing them with essential skills through a structured course. The primary objective is to support students as they transition into higher education, ensuring they have the tools necessary to thrive academically and personally. To achieve this, the Act establishes a grant program managed by the Secretary of Education. Eligible colleges and universities can apply for these grants to develop and implement "skills-for-success" courses specifically designed for first-year students.
