The findings of a national survey of community colleges show a spike in Pell Grant recipients as a result of the reinstated year-round Pell Grant. Half of all responding institutions reported increases of 15% or more in Pell Grant recipients for summer 2018 over the previous summer. Another 10% saw increases in Pell Grant recipients of more than 10%. Overall, the data show that the Congressional intent of fostering year-round attendance via an expanded Pell Grant was hugely successful.
