Degrees Not Debt Act of 2025

This bill would raise the total maximum Federal Pell Grant award per student to $14,800 for the 2026-2027 and 2027-2028 award years. Starting with the 2028-2029 award year, the $14,800 amount would be increased each year by the estimated percentage change in the Consumer Price Index. The amount set by the bill would be reduced by the maximum Pell Grant amount listed in the yearly appropriation law, so the bill's figure covers the total of both parts. The changes would take effect on July 1, 2026.
