First time back at CVC since 3/3/20. And for a very momentous occasion- the 50th anniversary of the Pell Grant.
Pell has provided college access for tens of millions students over 5 decades. We must continue investing for the next 50 years.

Happy 50th birthday to the Pell Grant, which was authorized on June 23, 1972.
We're thankful for the continued bipartisan support of Pell in Congress to ensure that all Americans have access to quality postsecondary education options. #PellTurns50
I can't believe it's been 50 years of Pell! The #PellGrant is the cornerstone of our federal financial aid program and has been instrumental in increasing access to college for low-income students. #PellTurns50
A5 - Raised by a single mom making just above min wage, $ was tight. I wasn’t sure college was possible, but my mom was adamant I go. I worked & went to school full-time my 1st yr at a CC to pay out of pocket for classes. Then I learned about the #PellGrant . Young Invincibles
Today I heard from a student who is from an immigrant family with abusive parents that cut him off financially, and he experienced homelessness, all while in pursuit of a college degree. Resilient? Yes. Necessary? Absolutely not. #DoublePell #PellTurns50

The student panel at the #PellTurns50 event is a great reminder that college info isn’t easily accessible for everyone and the cost of college extends far beyond tuition. We need to do more to help students access and afford #HigherEd #DoublePell
