No, they all don’t.

Some do.

And the idea that you’re in a position to decide how much is enough for kids who need to support their families, and aren’t allowed to earn a living is the issue.

You’re not.

The Pell Grant money is intended to be a source of money for the recipient. There are ZERO restrictions on how that money is spent. So if they need to pay mom’s rent, then that’s what it is intended for.

The fact is virtually none of them need to be on Pell grants if they are allowed to collectively bargain and earn money.

But please do continue to pretend that has nothing to do with the conversation.

Edit: and I’m not ignoring your comments on kids “wasting” the money. Here’s my response to that.

“Kids from poor families who struggled and never had cash or were taught financial literacy blows money on sneakers and tattoos. News at 11”

The fact some kids waste the money on purchases you or I may not agree with doesn’t mean their families automatically didn’t need it to keep the lights on.
