“..at least 65,000 new college students without high school diplomas and 63,000 ...”

We have helped several single moms apply for Pell Grants in the 80’s,90’s and they required a HS diploma or GED diploma. When was the requirement removed? Incidentally everyone we helped graduated and is working today - most of them nurses. Pell grants for drop out is a crazy idea!!

Probably when it was determined that a diploma or a GED requirement was racist.
