US Democrats seek to “restore the purchasing power” of grant eroded by inflation
Democrat politicians have introduced a bill intended to increase US federal support for less financially well-off students, which they say has been eroded by inflation.
Six Democrats including Robert Scott, ranking member of the House of Representatives Committee on Education and the Workforce, introduced the Pell Grant Preservation and Expansion Act of 2024 on 20 June.
