84.063 is not Title I or Direct Loans

Title I Grants to Local Educational Agencies (CFDA 84.010) and Federal Direct Student Loans are different Education catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $3,533,566,220.30 would invent a broader education total than this cell contains. Facts available: Pennsylvania, CFDA 84.063, $3,533,566,220.30, 1,569 awards. Expected Family Contribution flags and campus lists are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Federal Pell Grant Program, not a ranking of campus need. Dividing $3,533,566,220.30 by 1,569 yields about $2,252,113 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical student Pell award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,569 is not a count of students.
