The Department of Education’s Assistant Secretary for Higher Education, Sally Stroup, says that the proposal to increase Pell grants by one hundred dollars per year for five years hinges on legislation not yet passed.
A reporter found in the footnotes of the budget that Pell grant increases for 2006 rely on 2005 legislation and asks if there will be enough money to fund the increases without legislation being adopted; Stroup admits the money will not be there until legislation is passed, though she says she is confident that the legislation will be approved.
