More than 67,000 Mississippi college students rely on Pell Grants to help pay for their education. With the program facing a $15 billion funding shortfall, ensuring students can continue to count on this critical aid is essential to college access and completion.

In a new Mississippi Today guest essay, Woodward Hines Education Foundation President and CEO Jim McHale shares why protecting Pell funding is critical to Mississippi students, families, and our state’s future workforce.

Congress must close the Pell Grants funding shortfall so Mississippi students can move forward knowing the support they planned on will be there, nonprofit CEO says.
