Workforce Pell Grants begin with the award year starting July 1, 2026
What the document says“the Secretary shall award grants (to be known as `Workforce Pell Grants') to eligible students under paragraph (2) in accordance with this subsection.”
The section adds a new subsection (k) to section 401 of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1070a) requiring the Secretary, for the award year beginning July 1, 2026 and each later year, to award Workforce Pell Grants to eligible students.
What the document actually says“the Secretary shall award grants (to be known as `Workforce Pell Grants') to eligible students under paragraph (2) in accordance with this subsection.”
The Secretary must give out a new grant. It is called a Workforce Pell Grant.
It goes to students who qualify. The first award year starts July 1, 2026. It carries on each year after.
