Senator Claiborne Pell

quote:
Pell's legacy to the nation includes the creation of the most effective student aid program in the nation's history, the Basic Opportunity Grant, which was eventually renamed the Federal Pell Grant in his honor. This year, approximately 6 million low- and middle-income Americans will receive critical financial support to attend college through the Pell Grant program.
