The success of the #PellGrant program at driving socioeconomic mobility is evident at the University of California. 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

“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

"It [the Pell Grant] made my dream of going to college a reality." —Demetrius Shelton, UCLA and UC Davis Law #PowerOfPell #DoublePell #UC4Pell #PellTurns50 ucal.us/birthday

"Receiving the Pell Grant was a huge lift for me in that it gave me the ability to go to school and work part-time without living paycheck to paycheck." —Jeremy Brooks, Cal Poly grad & current UC Berkeley staff #PowerOfPell #DoublePell #UC4Pell #PellTurns50

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

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 ucal.us/birthday

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

Grants and scholarships are good. Loans are not. U.S. Department of Education 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 President Donald J. Trump Senate Democrats House Democrats
