Letter to Senate Appropriations Committee: Protect Pell in FY20 Spending Bill
October 7, 2019
On Monday, October 7, Higher Learning Advocates, along with 62 other groups, submitted a letter to the Senate Appropriations Committee strongly urging the committee to oppose the overall Labor-HHS-Education spending allocation and the accompanying proposed $1.3 billion rescission from the Pell reserve fund and to instead fully retain all current Pell funds where they belong — in the Pell Grant program.
