When students are getting ripped off by predatory fees on the debit cards they use to access their FINANCIAL AID, that's money they won't have for food, housing, child care, books, and more. Thank you @usedgov @CFPB for taking action to protect students. https://t.co/qYRO225lwd

Nearly all Pell Grant recipients come from families with incomes of $60,000 or less. Like we promised, our Administration’s student loan debt plan will help up to 27 million Pell Grant recipients – helping those who need it the most.

[President Biden Archived @POTUS46Archive]

This week, I spoke with Victoria and Daria, two Pell Grant recipients who are eligible for up to $20,000 in student loans forgiven because of my Administration's plan.

This relief means breathing room for Americans to build a better future for themselves and their families.
