Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act of 2026
A bill to improve the structure of the Federal Pell Grant program, and for other purposes.
This bill aims to enhance the Federal Pell Grant program, which provides financial aid to low-income students to help cover college costs. The proposed changes are intended to make these grants more accessible and beneficial to students in need.
The bill would affect students who rely on Pell Grants for college funding. By improving the grant structure, it seeks to increase the amount of aid available and ensure more students can benefit from this support. It would also likely impact colleges and universities that receive federal funding for students who qualify for Pell Grants.
Introduced on June 23, 2026, the bill has been read twice and referred to the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions. No further actions have been recorded as of the last update.
