"Today, our nation marks the 50th anniversary of the Federal Pell Grant -- a life-changing force for equity and opportunity.
Education is the best investment a society can make in its young people.
For half a century, Pell Grants have opened doors to higher education -- and they now support the hopes and aspirations of more than a third of our college students.
This year, the Democratic Congress proudly enacted a $400 increase to the maximum Pell Grant award.
Fighting alongside @POTUS, @HouseDemocrats remain committed to further empowering our students and widening the path to higher education."
