Under the Democratic Congress, Pell Grant awards have reached an all-time high. For the current academic year, the Pell Grant scholarship increased to $5,550, and beginning in 2013 the maximum scholarship will increase with the cost of inflation by linking the scholarship to the Consumer Price Index. Approximately 8 million U.S. students rely on the Pell Grant scholarship each year to help pay for college.
