Bill > HR1635

This bill, known as the "Pell to Grad Act", proposes amendments to the Higher Education Act of 1965 to extend Federal Pell Grant eligibility for students pursuing postbaccalaureate studies. Specifically, the bill increases the maximum number of semesters a student can receive Pell Grants from 12 to 16 semesters and allows students who received Pell Grants for at least one but fewer than 16 semesters during their undergraduate studies to continue receiving grants for their first postbaccalaureate course of study. To be eligible, students must have completed their undergraduate baccalaureate degree, would otherwise qualify for a Pell Grant, and not exceed their overall duration limits. This change aims to provide additional financial support for students continuing their education beyond a bachelor's degree, potentially helping them pursue advanced studies or professional development without being constrained by previous grant limitations.
