pell grants are a critical part of college affordability. almost half of all college students in the u.s. receive pell grants to help fund their education, including 23,000 students in my home state of hawaii. unfortunately, pell grants, the largest federal student aid program which are primarily funded by discretionary, not mandatory funding appropriations, do not provide the kind of stable funding source that families can rely upon. each year, congress in its discretion determines how much funding goes to pell grants. this should change. federal financial aid should be a resource that students and their families can count on, that they can plan around. to that end, the amendment i filed would do two things. first, it would convert the pell grant program from the discretionary side of the budget to the mandatory side of the budget for five years. that way, eligible families won't have to worry each year about congressional appropriations, at least for five years, and they can plan their finances for an entire four-year degree. second, my am
