Congress Averts Shutdown, Levels Funding for TRIO and GEAR UP Programs in FY24
Because the Fiscal Responsibility Act, also known as the debt limit deal, capped federal spending at FY23 levels, the Federal TRIO Programs received level funding at $1.191 billion. Similarly, GEAR UP received level funding at $388 million. When combined with mandatory funding, the agreement continues to support a total maximum Pell Grant award of $7,395 for the 2024-2025 award year. Congress continued funding the Federal Work-Study program at $1.2 billion and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant program (SEOG) at $910 million.
