(1) The United States needs individuals with 
the knowledge, skills, and abilities that enable them 
to thrive as educated citizens in society and success-
fully participate in an interconnected economy. 
(2) Investments in higher education through 
student aid such as the Federal Pell Grant program 
under section 401 of the Higher Education Act of 
1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070a) help students and families 
reach, afford, and complete education and training 
opportunities beyond high school. 
(3) The Federal Pell Grant program is the larg-
est source of federally funded grant aid for postsec-
ondary education. 
(4) The Federal Pell Grant program allows mil-
lions of people of the United States to attend college 
and is especially vital to students of color. Three in 
5 African American undergraduate students, and 
one-half of all Latino undergraduate students, rely 
on the Federal Pell Grant program. 
(5) The Federal Pell Grant program should 
continue to be a reliable source of funding for aspir-
ing students, their families, and future generations 
that they can count on to be there for them when 
they seek higher education.

(6) To stabilize Federal Pell Grant funding and 
ensure the grant will continue to serve millions of 
students now and in the future, the program should 
become a fully mandatory program that grows with 
inflation. 
(7) Protecting surplus funds, restoring prior eli-
gibility cuts, and expanding access to underserved 
students will give millions of students and families 
the critical student aid support they need and de-
serve.
