Every student in Oregon, no matter who they are or where they come from, should be able to attend college and earn a degree. This initial investment is just the start of a program to break down the barriers that have kept too many Oregonians from succeeding in higher education.

Happy 50th birthday, Pell Grant! Since its inception, nearly 2 and a half million Oregon students have benefited from over 6 BILLION dollars in grant funding. #PellTurns50 #OR4Pell #powerofpell #doublethepell #doublepell

The #PellGrant is the federal government’s main tool for making #HigherEd more affordable & accessible, but due to disinvestment & rising costs, it doesn’t have the same impact as it did 50 years ago.

The Oregon Tribal Student Grant program could be the nation’s most ambitious program to reduce financial barriers to college attendance and completion for Native American students. And we will keep looking for ways to increase opportunities. #orpol #orleg oregonlive.com/education/202…

This is why we have to both cancel student debt and make public higher ed either free or actually affordable. And we have to do it now.
