Senate appropriators approved a spending bill on Tuesday that would increase the maximum Pell Grant by $100, to $5,830, and provide an additional $606-million to the National Institutes of Health in the 2015 fiscal year.
The measure would increase spending on federal Work-Study by $35-million over the 2014 budget and President Obama’s plan, and would offer $15-million more for Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants.
It would provide an additional $8.4-million for the TRIO college-prep programs and $3-million more for the Gear Up program. Minority-serving institutions would get $8.7-million more than they did in the 2014 budget, including an additional $3.7-million for historically black colleges and $1.6-million more for Hispanic-serving institutions.
