You may have heard about President Trump's recent executive order, which puts a pause on federal grants and loans. The U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has indicated that this pause is unlikely to affect Federal Pell Grants and Direct Loans that individuals receive directly. We will provide updates as more information becomes available in this developing story.
