The U.S. Pell Grant program is a critical form of investment in college affordability. Pell Grants help support millions of low- and moderate-income students in their pursuit of higher education every year. They are particularly important for students of color and for those with student debt burdens.
#DoublePell is a national campaign led by the Double Pell Alliance, a coalition of higher education associations, organizations, and advocacy groups committed to doubling the maximum Pell Grant by the 50th anniversary of the creation of the program in June 2022. In support of students and the #DoublePell Campaign, the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges signed on as a member of the Double Pell Alliance.
