House and Senate appropriators
on June 25 and 26 (respectively) approved spending bills that
would provide no increases in federal student aid programs for
fiscal year 2004, which begins October 1. Under the levels
approved in both bills the
Pell Grant maximum would remain at the 2003 spending level of
$4,050. Lawmakers approved very slight increases for GEAR UP
and TRIO, while FSEOG, Federal Work-Study, Perkins Loans, and
LEAP were all funded at FY03 levels. |
