Pell grants are a lifeline for students to be able to afford a college education, something that should be a right—not a privilege—in any first-world society.
Congress, who continually accomplish very little other than maybe voting in pay raises for themselves, are looking to reduce spending on Pell grants. This is a mistake.
Pell grants are an investment into the future of the United States. The more educated our students are, the better jobs they'll get, and the more competitive we'll be on the world stage.
Mr. President, please urge our Congress to NOT reduce spending on Pell grants for any reason.
