Federal Pell Grant Program in Arizona
CFDA 84.063 — federal program obligations to Arizona
Total obligated
$9.68B
Awards
543
Federal Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) obligations tagged to Arizona total $9,452,670,226.33 on USAspending.gov across 540 awards. Pell is student-aid, not a state block grant, and the 540-row file sits between SNAP’s handful of vehicles and a highway file with thousands of projects. The join is Education’s Pell Catalog number plus an AZ place-of-performance tag, not a count of Arizona undergraduates. Five hundred forty Pell actions are an institution-scale grain on an AZ tag, not 540 students and not a ranking of Arizona campuses.
Key figures
- Arizona Pell (CFDA 84.063): $9,452,670,226.33 on 540 USAspending awards.
- The implied mean is about $17,505,000 per award; that is not a typical student Pell grant.

- Loans and campus-based aid sit outside this join.
- The join is 84.063 × AZ, not a college ranking.
Pell on an Arizona geography tag
Keep USAspending rows labeled FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM whose geography is Arizona (AZ). Five hundred forty awards remain. They sum to $9,452,670,226.33. Pell Grants go to eligible students via participating institutions. USAspending often records campus-level or institution-level assistance actions rather than one row per student.
The implied mean is about $17,505,000 per award. That average is institution-vehicle size in this extract, not a typical Pell award to a student. Unique students, unique campuses, and unique award years are unpublished. The packet does not name universities or community colleges.
Arizona federal spending is every CFDA on AZ. CFDA 84.063 is Pell nationwide. Federal Pell Grant Program in Arizona is the overlap. Arizona programs and All spending ties are the indexes.
Arizona’s public universities, community colleges, and private participating schools can all appear as Pell vehicles. None is named in the facts. $9,452,670,226.33 is the obligation sum only.
Online enrollment can pull students from other states onto an Arizona-coded campus award. The reverse is also true. Place of performance is not a residency census.
Campuses, online enrollment, and place of performance
An AZ tag can follow a campus address even when students attend online from other states. Conversely, Arizona residents enrolled at an out-of-state campus can appear on another state’s 84.063 cell. $9,452,670,226.33 is not a census of Arizonans receiving Pell.
Direct Loans, FSEOG, and work-study use other Catalog numbers. They are not inside this join. Mixing student-aid programs into $9,452,670,226.33 would be a new extract.
Five hundred forty actions are thicker than a two-row climate-fund cell and thinner than SSI files with thousands of rows. Texture describes the prime table, not educational quality.
Arizona’s IHS compact cell in this slice is 10 awards on 93.210. Pell is 540 awards on 84.063. Different agencies, different statutes. Do not merge them.
