Assessments
The promised FY25 funding outcome was enacted while Madeleine Dean remained in federal office. P.L. 119-4 provided FY2025-26 appropriations of $1.23 billion for Federal Work-Study and $910 million for FSEOG, preserving those programs' funding. The FY2025 full-year continuing appropriation generally carried FY2024 appropriations forward except where changed, and no identified exception reduced the $11.053 million FY2024 Work Colleges set-aside, so that support continued at the FY24 rate. Candidate-specific credit is limited by her nay vote on final passage, but the federal funding outcome itself was delivered in the same term.
