In the coming weeks, we’ll digest this decision & consult with partners/experts on what it means for supporting students of color going forward. We’ll continue to work with our members, fight to mitigate this ruling's effects, & to find new ways to move forward. (4/8)

Today, the #PellGrant is worth less than 30% of the average cost of attendance of a 4-year university, & that’s why we care. Tell us why Pell matters to you this Valentine’s with #BeMyPELLentine! tinyurl.com/783c5wwn

$7,395 is my new favorite number here at @NCANetwork - the agreed upon historic increase to the max Pell Grant for the 23-24 academic year. On the road to #doublePell to address affordability for all students. #thankful4Pell

"Earlier this year, we secured the largest Pell Grant increase in a decade. But we know it's still not enough. @POTUS has called on Congress to double Pell by 2029. That would be game changing.” -@SecCardona #FSATC2022

🎓📚@NCAN members appreciate FSA's hard work implementing FAFSA Simplification and @FSACOO's remarks this morning at the @FSAconf: "We continue to remain on track as we're working very hard to absorb all these mandatory changes to the FAFSA."

I am #Thankful4Pell since a Pell Grant allowed me to complete my degree and pay it forward by leading @NCANetwork, dedicated to closing equity gaps in postsecondary attainment. #DoublePell to create more opportunity. @senatorcardin @ChrisVanHollen @RepSarbanes

The notion that financial aid covers the cost of college is, unfortunately, a fallacy. Our new analysis finds an average unmet need of more than $3,200 in 44 states for Pell recipients at 4 year public colleges. Explore the national and state data here: ncan.org/page/affordability.

Yesterday’s student loan forgiveness announcement is a big deal, love it or hate it. But, there was more to it than $10 or $20K in forgiveness. Let’s talk about why the proposed IDR changes are huge for #todaysstudents. 🧵

👏 We applaud the closing statement: The Biden-Harris Administration will keep fighting to reduce the cost of higher education by working to make community college free and doubling the maximum size of the Pell Grant. ed.gov/news/press-releases/b…👏
