Colleges Advocate for Changes in Workforce Pell Grant Regulations

Colleges Advocate for Changes in Workforce Pell Grant Regulations

Colleges and universities are urging the U.S. Department of Education to revise proposed regulations for the expansion of the Pell Grant to include short-term workforce-aligned programs. The comment period for these regulations recently closed, with over 400 comments submitted. Institutions are concerned about the criteria for job-placement rates, which currently count students continuing their education as unemployed. They argue this penalizes institutions and does not align with the intent of the Workforce Pell program to support stackable credentials. Additionally, there are concerns about the provision that cuts off Pell Grant eligibility if nonfederal aid covers the full cost of attendance, potentially disadvantaging low-income students.
