GOP Proposal Threatens Pell Grants and College Access for Thousands
TL;DR Summary
House Republicans proposed changes to the Pell Grant eligibility that could reduce aid for nearly 10% of recipients and cut funding, prompting college leaders to support Senate efforts to preserve the program, which faces a significant shortfall. The Senate's more lenient approach aims to protect low- and middle-income students, especially part-time and community college students, amid concerns about long-term sustainability and the impact on student success.
