Question on FA policy & Pell

<p>I am somewhat disturbed by the number of Pell grants landing at expensive private colleges and universities. This seems incongruent with its original mission. Won’t it make more sense to limit Pell grant to institutions where the grant will correspond to a significant percentage of the tuition? Otherwise, the grant seems to subsidize FA of schools which already have large endowments for such a purpose. I don’t have the statistics, but perhaps Mini or other parents here may have them on hand.</p>
