What is a Second Chance Pell Grant?
The Obama-Biden Administration initially developed the Second Chance Pell Experiment in 2015 to offer Pell Grants to prisoners so they could take part in higher education programs. Over 7,000 certificates have been issued to students so far, increasing their skill sets and increasing their chances of success. Up to 200 colleges will be eligible to participate in the program until expansion to all colleges on July 1, 2023.
