We must support restoring PELL grants for Ability to Benefit students. Everyone deserves a chance to receive an education and shouldn't be punished for not completing high school. By taking away their PELL grants, you are preventing them from securing employment which will result in more burdens for social programs and tax payers. You are causing them to struggle more and try to survive in an economy that already has a 9.7% unemployment rate. How can you expect the Ability to Benefit student population to compete in this type of economy if you are taking away their chance to learn any skills or knowledge required to gain employment?
America is about equal opportunities and there is nothing equal about this.
