We are so excited for Biden’s new plan to expand the Pell Grant! Now Congress must decide if they support college affordability as well!! #DoublePell

📚President Biden wants to make college more affordable for low-income students. In his speech, he called on Congress to do more for low-income college students by increasing what's known as the federal Pell Grant. #StateOfTheUnion

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE PELL!! 🎉🎉

50 years and around 80 million students served. We’re celebrating the Pell Grant’s 50th anniversary and the generations of students it’s benefited! #UC4Pell #PellTurns50 #DoublePell

Thank you @RepCarbajal for highlighting the importance of the #PellGrant program and the need to #DoublePell! #PellTurns50 #UC4Pell

[Jim Davison🥥🏝️🗽🇵🇷🇺🇸 @davis46jam]

Grants and scholarships are good. Loans are not. @usedgov is criminally usurious and egregiously negligent in the supervision of its loan “servicers”. Exonerate at least $50k of debt. That’s a lot of votes @POTUS @SenateDems @HouseDemocrats

[ASUC External Affairs VP @ASUCEAVP]

Don’t miss your chance to sign the card and let Congress know how important the Pell Grant is to students!!! 🎉💙💛

The majority of recent undocumented graduates are ineligible for #DACA. We cannot afford to lose this generation of graduates. Congress must ensure their ability to support themselves and continue their education by establishing a path to citizenship now! #DACA10 @PresImmAlliance

The Pell Grant changed my life! Without it, I couldn’t have attended the University of California. It’s time to double the Pell & help others afford quality education. #powerofthepell #doublepell #ucdavis #UC4pell

[UCAdvocacy @UCAdvocacy]

The #PellGrant once covered 75% of the cost of a 4-year public college, but inflation and disinvestment have reduced it to ~28%. It’s time for Congress to #DoublePell and index the grants to inflation. #PowerOfPell #UC4Pell #PellTurns50 https://t.co/H7c9NoibXP

Happy 50th, Pell! Sign our birthday card to the #PellGrant, which has helped around 80 million students go to college over the years. We’ll deliver it to Congress to show the importance of the program. #UC4Pell #PellTurns50 #DoublePell https://t.co/fSSvVVRxT6

“Without federal aid, I wouldn’t have gotten here. Investing in the Pell Grant is investing in students’ lives – in the future of people with unique perspectives that might not otherwise be heard or seen.” #PowerofPell

The success of the #PellGrant program at driving socioeconomic mobility is evident at the @UofCalifornia. Within 5 years of graduating, the median individual income of Pell Grant students exceeds that of their families when the student entered UC. #UC4Pell #DoublePell
