Pell Grant Sustainability Act

What this bill does

  • The bill ties the maximum Pell Grant award amount to inflation, so it increases automatically each year.
  • Low-income students pursuing higher education are affected by this change to federal grant funding.
  • The bill permanently reauthorizes the Pell Grant program, removing the need for future congressional reauthorization.
