Texas × 84.063 is a Pell join, not a student headcount

This page pairs CFDA 84.063, FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM, with Texas place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $13,269,630,994.20 on 2,101 awards. The join is Education's Pell Grant listing crossed with a Texas location field, not Texas's entire student-aid book and not a census of Pell recipients. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 2,101 awards equal that many Pell recipients, FAFSA filers, or named campuses.

Direct Loans, FSEOG, and other Title IV listings sit outside this total unless they also carry 84.063. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arkansas. An institution coded to another state is not this cell even if Texas students attend. Place of performance as Texas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $13,269,630,994.20 in the state treasury.

2,101 Education rows behind a $13.27 billion book

Mean obligation is about $6.32 million if $13,269,630,994.20 were divided evenly across 2,101 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Two thousand one hundred one records is a mid-thick Education assistance file. Campus-level origination files are a different series. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of Pell recipients, FAFSA filers, or named campuses.

Two thousand one hundred one awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Federal Pell Grant Program in Texas for the stored table. Flagship campuses, community colleges, and for-profit schools are unpublished splits. Do not treat 2,101 as a campus directory. The $13,269,630,994.20 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Federal Pell Grant Program funding is obligated in Texas?
USAspending.gov shows $13,269,630,994.20 in obligations for CFDA 84.063 with Texas as place of performance, across 2,101 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Texas's entire federal-spending total. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 84.063.
Do 2,101 awards equal 2,101 Texas Pell students?
No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of Pell recipients, FAFSA filers, or named campuses. The packet does not name recipients. See Federal Pell Grant Program in Texas for named lines as USAspending stored them. The implied mean near $6.32 million is a ratio, not a typical unit.
Is this Texas's entire Texas higher-education aid budget?
No. The join is CFDA 84.063 crossed with Texas place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $13,269,630,994.20 unless the award also carries 84.063. Direct Loans, FSEOG, and other Title IV listings sit outside this total unless they also carry 84.063. Mixing catalogs would invent a combined figure the packet never computed.
Is the Federal Pell Grant Program total already paid in Texas?
Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $13,269,630,994.20 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
