Unlikely to pass

Most bills that only change the name of a program do not become a high priority for a full vote in Congress.

This bill changes the official name of the college grant program for students living in Washington, D.C. It would be renamed to honor Eleanor Holmes Norton, who has served as the city's representative in Congress for decades.
The program helps D.C. residents pay for college by covering some of the costs of out-of-state tuition. This bill does not change the amount of money students receive or the rules for who can apply.
If this bill passes, all future government records and laws will use the new name. This is a way to honor Norton's long career in public service.
