Pell Grant Cuts Endanger College Access and State Economies
Originally Published 6 months ago — by The Texas Tribune
Proposed federal cuts to the Pell Grant could significantly reduce aid for nearly half a million Texas students, potentially leading to a loss of up to $493 million in aid and forcing students to take on heavier course loads or drop out, especially impacting part-time and community college students. The final legislation is still uncertain, with potential changes that could further affect student eligibility and access.
