The Higher Education Act of 1965 (HEA) is a law designed to provide financial assistance to post-secondary school students and to strengthen the educational resources of the colleges and universities of the United States. It has contributed to making college education accessible to millions of Americans through programs like Pell Grants and Stafford loans. The Act has several titles, and although it has failed to gain formal reauthorization since 2013, its programs continue to operate on temporary extensions with proposed changes in discussion.
