CFDA 84.063 is titled FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM. Crossed with Utah place of performance, obligations sum to $3,257,936,916.29 on 378 awards. The national Federal Pell Grant Program hub includes other states. Utah’s spending hub includes other programs.

378 awards is a campus- and institution-scale pattern rather than a student-level file. The implied mean of about $8.62 million per award is an institution-year scale, not a typical Pell award to one student. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $3,257,936,916.29, 378 awards, UT, and 84.063. Correlation is not causation. Utah’s 378 Pell instruments sit at an institution scale: $3,257,936,916.29 is the cell total, not 378 students and not 378 campuses named in the facts.

Pell is not a loan catalog in this cell

The catalog title names Federal Pell Grant Program. It is not Direct Loans, campus-based aid, or state scholarships (those are different catalogs). Mixing other catalogs into $3,257,936,916.29 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Utah, CFDA 84.063, $3,257,936,916.29, 378 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,257,936,916.29 by 378 yields about $8.62 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 378 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.
