84.063 is not Louisiana IDEA

Special Education Grants To States (CFDA 84.027) is a different Education catalog. Mixing Pell and IDEA in Louisiana would invent a combined student-aid-and-special-education book. Mixing those series into $2,375,224,543.59 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Louisiana, CFDA 84.063, $2,375,224,543.59, 627 awards. Campus names, student counts, and SAI figures are unpublished.

The catalog title names Federal Pell Grant Program, not a ranking of Louisiana colleges. Dividing $2,375,224,543.59 by 627 yields about $3.79 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 627 is not a student, campus, or FAFSA census.

Pell often posts as recurring assistance actions to institutions rather than one row per student. Reading 627 as 627 Louisiana undergraduates would confuse award actions with people. The packet publishes no fiscal year; do not annualize $2,375,224,543.59 into a school-year budget. A Shreveport-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Quote Federal Pell Grant Program in Louisiana, CFDA 84.063, Louisiana federal spending, Louisiana programs, and All spending ties as separate pages rather than summing them.
