Pell Grant Expansion Act: What It Means and How to Take Action
Doubles the maximum Pell Grant award from $7,395 to $14,800 per academic year to keep pace with rising tuition costs. Expands eligibility to include incarcerated individuals enrolled in prison education programs and increases access for part-time students.
Why physical mail matters
- Congressional staffers track and log constituent mail by position (support/oppose)
- Physical postcards have a higher psychological impact than emails or form letters
- During committee markup and floor votes, constituent contact volume directly influences how members vote
- Your postcard is mailed USPS First Class — it lands on a real desk in a real office
