Pell Grant change could cut students eligibility
Congress boosts Pell Grants by 458 million dollars to 12.4 billion but adopts a tax table update that could cut or eliminate eligibility for as many as one million students. The change freezes maximum awards at 4050 dollars while shifting how many families qualify and by how much aid. Democrats criticize the move, arguing poorer students lose credit for higher state taxes.
