USAspending.gov records $1,103,251,140.44 in Federal Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) obligations with place of performance in Texas 18th District (TX-18), across 64 awards. Sixty-four Pell Grant awards cover about twenty-three percent of TX-18’s district obligation total — a higher Pell share than Florida 10th because the district book is under five billion dollars. That pair is Federal Pell Grant Program and Texas 18th District (TX-18) — not Texas’s entire federal inflow, not Federal Pell Grant Program nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 22.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($4,868,911,900.11). Implied average obligation is about $17,238,299.07 ($1,103,251,140.44 ÷ 64). Correlation is not causation.
Key figures
- Pell Grants in Texas 18th District (TX-18): $1,103,251,140.44 across 64 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $17,238,299.07 per record; district share 22.7% of $4,868,911,900.11.
- CFDA 84.063 × TX-18 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not a named-recipient list.
- Cite USAspending.gov; quote Texas 18th District and CFDA 84.063 if live tables moved.
- Texas federal spending and All spending ties are parents and an index, not amounts to add into $1,103,251,140.44.
What the Pell Grants–TX-18 join is
CFDA 84.063 and congressional district TX-18 meet here. $1,103,251,140.44 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Federal Pell Grant Program’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Texas 18th District (TX-18), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split public from private campuses and does not publish a student denominator. 64 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a student headcount, a campus census, or a named-institution roster.
Dividing $1,103,251,140.44 by 64 yields about $17,238,299.07 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical award year maximum or a posted per-student figure. 64 awards is a compact-to-moderate Pell file, the thickest Pell row count on this slice. Campuses remain unpublished. Do not treat TX-18’s 84.063 cell as a synonym for every Pell Grants account nationwide. Open Texas 18th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 84.063 for CFDA 84.063 without the TX-18 filter, Texas federal spending for every program in the Texas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,103,251,140.44.
CFDA 84.063 as the Pell Grants side
USAspending labels CFDA 84.063 as Federal Pell Grant Program. That catalog number produced $1,103,251,140.44 when crossed with Texas 18th District (TX-18) place of performance. The program-wide 84.063 hub does not require TX-18 geography. The district hub does not require Pell Grants. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 64 awards. The packet does not split public from private campuses and does not publish a student denominator.
Correlation is not causation: Texas 18th District (TX-18) did not “cause” $1,103,251,140.44 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 84.063 × TX-18 only. It is not a student headcount, a campus census, or a named-institution roster. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Questions
- How much Pell Grants spending is coded to Texas 18th District (TX-18)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,103,251,140.44 in Federal Pell Grant Program obligations across 64 awards with place of performance in Texas 18th District (TX-18). CFDA 84.063 × TX-18 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Texas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 22.7% of the district’s published total ($4,868,911,900.11). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $17,238,299.07, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $1,103,251,140.44 include every Pell Grants project in TX-18?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split public from private campuses and does not publish a student denominator. $1,103,251,140.44 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 84.063 inside TX-18 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 84.063 and Texas 18th District to inspect parent tables. 64 remains an action count, not a count of students, campuses, or award years.
- Is $1,103,251,140.44 cash already paid in Texas 18th District (TX-18)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $1,103,251,140.44 as checks already cleared in Texas 18th District (TX-18) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 64 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- Where is the live Pell Grants–TX-18 table?
- Texas 18th District is the district parent and CFDA 84.063 is the program parent. Texas federal spending covers Texas without the district×program intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $1,103,251,140.44. Place of performance is TX-18. Obligations are not outlays.
USAspending.gov congressional district place-of-performance joined to CFDA program. Obligations are not outlays.
