Pappas urged the Education Department to issue FY2026 TRIO Upward Bound grant award notifications without further delay so the programs can run on schedule.

Evidence

Pappas said the Department “finally issued this June 1 grant award,” while the office said GANs “have begun to be released” after the NH delegation pushed for delayed FY2026 TRIO Upward Bound notifications.

The delegation’s pressure appears to have forced release of delayed FY2026 TRIO Upward Bound funding notifications, but the release was still late and came down to the wire rather than on a normal timetable.

partial same_term

Pappas appears to have helped pressure the Department of Education to release delayed FY2026 TRIO Upward Bound grant award notifications while serving in office, so he gets credit for materially advancing the outcome in the same term. But the promise was to ensure timely notifications so programs could operate on schedule, and the evidence says the notices were delayed and released only after a last-minute push. That supports partial credit rather than full delivery.
