I met with Maricopa Community Colleges students to hear how the Trump Administration’s efforts to limit #PellGrant eligibility are impacting students on the ground.

I’ll keep fighting to expand access and make college affordable for Arizonans.

We joined 88 signers urging #Congress to protect the #PellGrant in FY26 and to offset the impact of inflation with an increase to the maximum award of at least $200. Students deserve a #PellGrant that keeps up with rising costs. buff.ly/1GEECqx

We joined 170+ orgs in urging Congress: don’t cut #PellGrants! To #ProtectPell, lawmakers must avert a funding shortfall by investing new funds and rejecting any eligibility cuts. The #PellGrant is essential in preserving college access for low- and middle-income families. Read more: buff.ly/k85Cdrf

Really? With everything else, going for the #pellgrant? The government's only done a few things that I've actually felt a benefit from, and the current president has already attacked all of them. Now I can't afford school. I'm sure I'm not the only one. #highereducation #college #financialaid #help

Can anyone explain to me in more concrete terms what these Pell Grant changes relating to family need actually mean?

Screenshot of Forbes article about student loan changes in Republican budget bill. It notes students will be disqualified from Pell Grants if their student aid index is at least twice the maximum Pell Grant given that year.
