The American Indian College Fund joins the National College Access Network in urging higher education allies to oppose massive cuts to the Pell Grant program and its support of our most vulnerable students. The “Big Beautiful Bill” eliminates Pell Grants for an estimated 1.4 million, or 20% of current Pell Grant recipients – specifically including students attending college part-time while they work minimum wage jobs and/or care for family members. More than half of Pell Grant recipients would see their award reduced or eliminated, including more than 75% of Native American students attending a tribal college.
Don’t delay! Raise your voice today to prevent harmful cuts to the Pell Grant program and help hard-working TCU students complete their college educations.
Take Action Today!
Please call your senators today and ask them to Save the Pell Grant Program.
Hi, my name is [NAME] and I’m a constituent from [CITY, ZIP]. I’m calling to demand that [YOUR SENATOR’S NAME] oppose cutting the Pell Grant Program or reducing Pell Grant award amounts, as this will create unnecessary barriers to achieving a higher education for low-income students, especially American Indian and Alaska Natives. Educating the next generation of all Americans is not only a fundamental right, but is also critical to our nation’s future.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
