I wouldn't have gone to college without the support of Pell grants. I wouldn't have ended up in grad school or with a PhD or anything I'm currently doing in my life.
Pell grants are so so so important for students who qualify for them.

Pell grant cuts threaten state college access goals
In my latest, I explain how the multipronged cuts to federal financial aid would shift costs to states, who in turn will likely have to shift costs to students to take on more debt or forego college

Big update to scienceimpacts.org: See the devastating impact of cancelled NIH grants across the country, and how losses at specific institutions ripple out to surrounding communities.
This is all in addition to the future losses that would result from cutting funds for indirect costs of research.
