  • Western Carolinian September 14,1995 News Pell Grants Jeopardized by House Bill College Press WASHINGTON-The U.S. House of Representatives this month approved a bill to restructure the federal Pell Grant program and eliminate small grants for an estimated 250,000 college students. House Republicans said their plan will re-focus the program to target those students most in need of financial aid. The bill would increase the maximum Pell Grant by $100 next year but terminate aid to less-needy students who do not qualify for grants of at least $600. The current minimum grant is $400. 'The committee believes that funding for these small grants, which support individuals with relatively less need, should be better targeted to those students with relatively greater financial need," said a report accompanying the bill, H.R. 2127. "The 250,000 students affected by the cut will have ready access to additional loans of $400-$600 necessary to supplement their education expenses," the report added. "The change is needed to better target limited resources to those students with the greatest needs," it read. Overall, the plan would cut total funding for Pell by $500 million next year. However, the maximum grant would increase from $2,340 to $2,440. A bitterly divided House approved the bill in early August by a vote of 219 to 208, with most Democrats opposing the measure. "This bill is simply a monster of inequity," said Rep. Vic Fazio (D-Calif.) of the bill, which would fund federal education, employment and human-service programs. "One-half of the cuts in this bill are stolen from the single-best investment we can make in out future: education." Other Democrats charged that the cuts will fund tax breaks for business and the wealthy. 'These cuts far exceed what would be necessary to balance the budget," added Rep. David Obey (D-Wis.), senior Democrat on the House Appropriations Committee that drafted the measure. Critics say the bill, if enacted into law, would mean cuts of $4 billion in federal education spending next year. President Clinton vowed to veto the measure shortly after it cleared the House. "What is being done to the college programs and the job training program is simply unacceptable," he said. The jobless training cuts include termination of an $800 million program offering summer jobs to at-risk youth. Though the bill does increase the maximum Pell Grant, House Republicans fell short of Clinton's own goals for the program in 1996. Earlier this year, he proposed a maximum of $2,620 in 1996 to make up for past cuts in the maximum grant. Elsewhere in education, H.R. 2127 would eliminate many graduate programs such as Patricia Roberts Harris Fellowships that help recruit underserved minorities for graduate education. Other fellowship programs include Javits fellowships for doctoral study, Byrd honor scholarships for high school students, Douglas teacher scholarships, national science scholars and faculty development fellowships. Support for these graduate fellowships totaled $50 million in 1995. The Republicans' plan also eliminates all funding for State Student Incentive Grants (SSIG), in which the federal government provides matching funds for state grant programs. SSIG received $63 million this year. Another provision in the measure ends new capital contributions for Perkins Loans, a campus- based student aid program. Last year's Congress allocated $158 million for new contributions. Obey said eliminating federal contributions would deny aid to 150,000 college students. The average grant in the Perkins program is about $1,400. Democrats sought unsuccessfully to restore some of the Perkins funds during debate on the measure. Elsewhere in student aid, the bill would freeze funding for college work/study programs at the current level of $616 million. Support for Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants would remain at $583 million under the legislation. H.R. 2127 also would freeze funding for TRIO programs that recruit disadvantaged and minority students into higher education. Funds for historically black colleges would remain frozen, while a small program to support Hispanic-serving colleges and universities would face a 10 percent cutback. Another provision of the spending bill would limit administrative costs in the new Direct Loan program, in which the federal government, through schools, makes educational loans directly to students without the help of banks. Many Republicans want to scale back or curtail the program, claiming it will not reach its anticipated savings. Democrats defended the program saying it will save money by cutting out subsidies to financial institutions. The action now moves to the Senate, where members will mark up their own version of an education/human service spending bill by mid-September. A House/Senate, conference committee then would resolve any differences between the bills before sending a final package to the White House. The government's fiscal year begins October 1, 1995 although delays and a presidential veto could leave education programs without firm funding at the start of the new year.
