S. 5573

Exempts theology and philosophy programs from aid rule

Keeps federal student aid flowing to theology, religious vocations, and philosophy programs at religious colleges even if graduates earn little money.

  • Applies to schools that already qualify for a religious exemption in a 1972 education law
  • Covers programs labeled theology and religious vocations, or philosophy and religious studies
  • Those programs would no longer lose federal student aid because graduates earn too little
