New Pell Grant Limitations
#3
I agree with Rebel. As a college instructor I have seen so much abuse of this system it really has hurt the program for everyone. We have some students that have been using Pell grant money to live on for 20 years. We have some that have raised families on Pell grant funding all without earning a degree! They now have their kids abusing the system and it goes on and on. I think the new rules are more than fair. I have several students in my program that have used up their funding and will have to pay out of pocket to finish their degree...if they really want to. Most just keep changing majors every few years to keep getting money, so most don't really want an actual degree. The new rules allow for everyone who is serious about earning a degree the funds to help them.
