Pell Grant

Bipartisan legislation in the Senate and House of Representatives would make prisoners eligible for Pell Grants, reversing a clause in the 1994 crime bill that stripped such eligibility.

And that makes it hard for kids to choose the right school.

For the first time ever, the public can see the graduation rates for Pell grant recipients at over 1,000 schools.

A new study from The New America Foundation makes it clear why so many schools have fought efforts for greater transparency when it comes to financial aid.
