Plain-English Summary

The proposal would make changes to how the federal government awards Pell Grants, which are financial aid payments that help low-income students pay for college tuition and expenses. The specific reforms aim to improve how the grant program is structured and operates, though the exact details would be determined as the bill moves through the committees reviewing it. Students from families with limited income would be the primary group affected by any changes to this major source of college funding.
