Raise Hell for Pell: Double it NOW!
College shouldn't require mortgaging your future. No student should graduate with crippling debt.
For millions of students and working families, the rising cost of higher education is putting opportunity further out of reach. Pell Grants are how millions of Americans go to college. More than 7 million students rely on Pell each year to make higher education possible, yet the program faces a funding shortfall just as students need it most. Instead of investing in college affordability, the President, billionaires, and big corporate interests are attacking higher education and blocking the opportunities that Pell Grants make possible for working-class students and families.
Join students, faculty, staff, alumni, and community members from across the country for a Campus Organizing Assembly to launch the Raise Hell for Pell campaign.
The fight to protect and expand Pell Grants is about protecting the program now and winning a new higher education system for the future. Join us to help open the doors of higher education for the next generation.
