I was talking to my brother-in-law the other night. He is a major contributor and former captain of his college football team. The school is a member of the ACC. The discussion involved additional aide to scholarship athletes. He had a discussion with his school administration and the person he spoke with indicated they were not in favor of additional aide. He was informed that many of the school athletes receive Federal Pell Grants in addition to their full athletic scholarships. My brother-in-law was totally surprised that this was being used as a supplement. I decided to look at Federal Pell grants.
Federal Pell Grants
1. Award up to $5775. annually.
2. Based on Your Financial Need.
3. BASED ON YOUR COST OF ATTENDANCE.
4. Based on your status as a full-time or part-time student.
5. DOES NOT HAVE TO BE REPAID.
I am curious of how Tulane is using or not using this. How will the new COST OF ATTENDANCE voted on by several conferences relate to FEDERAL PELL GRANTS. Will the athlete get both? Will one reduce the other.
My brother -in-laws school was the only school in the ACC to vote against the COST OF ATTENDANCE PROPOSAL.
