Something must be configured in a certain way so that some of these athletes are receiving Pell, even though it isn't needed to pay their expenses. It's apparently very common. One of my employees handles both Pell and Athletics and she was filling me in on it.
Not going to lie, I'm considering writing to some people about this. I find it ridiculous that in an age when we are discussing the high amounts of debt that students are leaving college with that full scholarship individuals are also receiving Pell. There has to be some sort of loophole in all of that for this and it's ridiculous because that money could, and should, be given to students that need it more and aren't having all of their expenses and then some covered.
Damn. Thanks for looking into it.
