Late this week, the U.S. Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education held a hearing on the Presidents FY11 budget request.  Senators reaffirmed their commitment to close any remaining funding gaps that remain in the Pell Grant Program.

“The Pell shortfall is another danger on the horizon,” stated U.S. Senator Harkin, Chairman of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions.
