This bill will incentivize student recipients of the Pell Grant to graduate on time and save taxpayers money: "The taxpayer-friendly Pell for Performance Act will encourage students who receive the Pell Grant - a federally funded grant program - to graduate college in a timely manner,” said Rep. Norman. “Currently, the government provides over $30 billion a year in Pell Grant aid, and 46% of students who attend college receive the Pell Grant. In fact, nearly 40% of all students do not graduate on time. This legislation will ultimately save taxpayer dollars by holding Pell Grant recipients accountable for not graduating on time, rather than leaving the taxpayer to foot the bill. I look forward to working with my colleague, Rep. Rooney, to move this bill through the legislative process.” “This act will focus efforts of both colleges and students to complete their degrees in a timely manner as well as bring forth more bang for the taxpayer’s buck,” said Rep. Rooney. “It is important for Pell Grants to be accessible to students who need them, and are committed to graduating and joining the workforce.” f t # e	1	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z	2026-03-30T12:14:52Z
