Illinois’s Pell file is thicker in rows than Georgia’s 827-row cell and Arizona’s 540-row cell. More institution-level actions, not a published finding that Illinois has the most Pell students.

MAP grants are not Pell

An IL tag can follow a campus even when students attend online from other states. Illinois residents at out-of-state campuses can appear on other 84.063 cells. This total is not a census of Illinoisans receiving Pell.
Direct Loans and campus-based aid sit outside this join. SSI and SNAP are different Illinois pairs in this slice; do not merge student aid into income-support cells.
MAP is state aid. Pell is 84.063. Mixing them changes datasets.
Online enrollment blurs residency. An IL tag is campus coding, not a census of Illinoisans.
