As a newly US permanent resident, I have questions about Pell Grant

<p>*Mom2Collegekids wrote what I was thinking, but was afraid of not being “PC”. *</p>

<p>Ha…I need to share with you some of my Italian nerves. I’m not afraid of “not being PC” ever. lol</p>

<p>I do think this country is nuts for allowing this sort of thing to happen. The Pell Grant funds are coming from Tax-payers’ wallets…not from some mythical gov’t source. Think about the US citizens whose EFC are just beyond the Pell numbers. Their families have been contributing for YEARS and they get squat! This is ridiculous. </p>

<p>This student got a green card because some “non parent” promised to provide support. Oh yeah? where’s this “support” now that he’s got his green card and now qualifies for Pell? So ridiculous.</p>
