Abstract | Created in 1972, the Pell Grant program awards grants to low-income students to help pay for whatever accredited U.S. college they choose. Totaling $28.4 billion in 2019-20, the program is the most significant source of federal student aid for college. However, as the program turns 50 this year, many advocates are hoping to expand its reach and impact even further. They note that the size of Pell awards hasn't kept pace with the rising cost of a college education. This article discusses a campaign called Double Pell, which aims to double the size of Pell Grant awards. (ERIC). |
