.TUSKEGEE UNIVERSITY President Brown testified before the Senate HELP Committee: “If you cap access to student loans & at the same time reduce Pell Grants, you will hurt access to education for those who begin their journey in poverty or with significant need.” insidehighered.com/news/governmen…

Advanced degree graduates are increasingly vital to our nation’s skilled workforce. Cutting #GradPLUS would eliminate financial aid for students in essential fields already facing shortages – like primary care, where 65% of rural areas lack enough doctors. studentaidalliance.org/contact-congre…

APLU’s Council on Governmental Affairs was pleased to award Catherine Johnson of House Science Committee with the CGA Exemplary Public Servant Award in recognition of her steadfast support for scientific innovation and the contributions of the nation’s public research universities.

For over 50 years, the #Pell Grant has remained the cornerstone of Federal financial aid, supporting more than 7 million students each year in their pursuit of a life-changing college degree and upward economic mobility. That's why we must protect it.

Society invests in Pell Grant recipients–and it pays off. On average, the government spends $82,000 less on college graduates throughout their lifetime compared to those with high school degrees. #PellPaysBack
