Reduction of the Federal Pell Grant

The Reduction of Federal Pell Grants for the upcoming academic year of 2011-2012 has already been passed by the House of Representatives.  This came to a vote in the United States Senate on MARCH 4^th. 

The Pell Grant Program is the centerpiece of Federal Funding for higher education. This cutback passed in the House would seriously erode opportunities to take advantage of educational programs at Colleges across the county. 

There has been a facebook campaign created by The National Association of  Student Financial Aid Administrators (NASFAA). Students were encouraged to join the FACEBOOK CAMPAIGN and describe how cuts to the Pell Grant program would negatively affect students everywhere.
