CBO: Pell Grant Facing $11.5B Shortfall

New data from the Congressional Budget Office shows the #PellGrant program could face an $11.5B shortfall by FY27. Without action, students and institutions could see changes to award amounts, eligibility, or the number of semesters covered. www.insidehighered.com/news/governm... @insidehighered.com
