Senate Democrats sent a letter to President Trump last week, asking him to expand the Pell Grant program beginning in FY 2017 to make college more affordable for American families.

“As the new congress and administration work together to complete the Fiscal Year 2017 appropriations process, we ask for your support for strengthening mandatory and discretionary funding for the maximum Pell Grant, restoring access for year-round studies, and protecting Pell surplus funds,” the letter said.
