PELLCHECK

Every year the U.S. Department of Education provides a Pell Grant Awards accuracy report. This year, as in previous years, the Department of Education detected what are called Pell Grant "under awards" due to a small errors in accuracy that add up to millions each year... Annually, those inaccuracies translate into between $100M and $200M+ in Pell Grants not being awarded to qualified students in need... If a student is under awarded Pell Grant dollars but is one of the 53% classified as "dependent" on their FAFSA, they typically have to look to their parents to make up the difference … not something students or parents see as a good solution.
