Pell Grants Quotes

• In my family, there was one cardinal priority - education. College was not an option; it was mandatory. So even though we didn’t have a lot of money, we made it work. I signed up for financial aid, Pell Grants, work study, anything I could.

• Given the best of all possible worlds, I would make a few changes. I would place emphasis on increasing the amount of funding that goes into programs like Pell Grants, that purely and simply award funds to students who really cannot afford full tuition.

• A veces me pregunto cuánto de estos debates tiene que ver con el deseo, el legítimo deseo, de que esa historia sea reconocida. Porque hay un poder psíquico en el reconocimiento que no se satisface con un programa universal, no se satisface con la Ley de Asistencia Asequible, ni con una ampliación de las becas Pell, ni con una ampliación del crédito fiscal por ingresos del trabajo.

• Mientras millones de familias estadounidenses, incluida la mía y la suya, trabajaban duro pagando lo que nos correspondía, parece que Donald Trump no aportaba nada a nuestra nación. Imagínese. No es justo. Nada para las becas Pell que ayudan a los niños a ir a la universidad. Nada para los veteranos. Nada para nuestros militares.

• We spent $100 billion on education, saving the education system 300,000 teachers who were laid off because of the recession. We also put tens of thousands of lower income kids in college through Pell grants which has fundamentally all their opportunity. We did the same thing with regard to what we did on transportation. So we weren't just trying to - we knew we had to do something big to keep us from going over the cliff into a depression and pull us out of hole.

• I left school December of 1988. I was 21 at the time. And I hadn't quite finished my degree because I had done eight semesters, not understanding that I was going to have to finish the degree without the TAPP and Pell grant money that I had been using towards paying for much of my college tuition. And I didn't have any money. So I said, "Alright." And circumstances there were such that I thought it was maybe time to move on anyway.

• Crecí con una madre soltera que era camarera. Recibíamos cupones de alimentos. Mi madre consiguió becas Pell y se matriculó en la universidad para obtener un título que le permitiera conseguir un trabajo mejor. Como no teníamos dinero, tuve que ir a una universidad pública. Fui a la Universidad de Temple, y tuve que pedir préstamos. Así que crecí en un mundo en el que vi cómo el gobierno ayudaba a las personas a salir adelante, y vi que funcionaba muy bien.

• There's a true schizophrenia where if you say to voters, you know, do you think the federal government spends too much money and they should spend less, they say yeah, absolutely. Then you name specific things, like Pell grants for students and they say, no, not that. How 'bout NIH, medical research funding? Nah, you really shouldn't cut that. And pretty soon you've proved that what the American public is against is arithmetic.
