S.Amdt. 5507

SA 5507, submitted by Ms. Hirono and Mr. Van Hollen, aims to change the bill by striking everything after the enacting clause and replacing it with a new section.

The purpose of this amendment is to provide additional funding for Federal Pell Grants. Specifically, it would:

• Appropriate $17,000,000,000 to the Secretary of Education for fiscal year 2026.
• Use money from the Treasury that has not been otherwise appropriated.
• Use these funds for awarding grants under section 401 of the Higher Education Act of 1965.
