Pell Grants For Kentucky
KENTUCKY...
The White House says the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act is expected to provide more than $480 million to Kentucky by academic year 2020-2021 in additional benefits for higher education. President Barack Obama signed the bill into law Tuesday at Northern Virginia Community College near Washington. In a news release, the White House says federal Department of Education officials estimate Kentucky's students will receive an additional $480 million in Pell Grants due to the changes in the new law. There is also $9.4 million for historically black and minority-serving colleges in Kentucky over the next decade. Another $10 million is coming to help attract low-income students and help them manage college loan debt.
