Federal Pell Grant Program funding in Georgia
Federal Pell Grant Program (CFDA 84.063) obligations tagged to Georgia total $5,071,935,520.23 on USAspending.gov across 827 awards. Pell’s 827-row file sits between SSI’s 9,368 Georgia actions and SLFRF’s 3. Student aid posts at a different grain than either. The join is Education’s Pell Catalog number plus a GA place-of-performance tag, not a count of Georgia undergraduates. Eight hundred twenty-seven Pell actions are an institution-scale grain on a GA tag, between SSI’s 9,368 Georgia rows and SLFRF’s 3.

- Georgia Pell (CFDA 84.063): $5,071,935,520.23 on 827 USAspending awards.

Institution-scale Pell actions on a Georgia tag
Keep USAspending rows labeled FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM whose geography is Georgia (GA). Eight hundred twenty-seven awards remain. They sum to $5,071,935,520.23. Pell Grants move to students through participating institutions. USAspending often records institution-level assistance actions rather than one row per student.
The implied mean is about $6,132,900 per award. That is campus-vehicle size in this extract, not a typical student Pell grant. Unique students and unique campuses are unpublished. The packet does not name the University System or technical colleges.
Georgia federal spending is every CFDA on GA. CFDA 84.063 is Pell nationwide. Federal Pell Grant Program in Georgia is the overlap. Georgia programs and All spending ties are the indexes.
University System campuses, technical colleges, and private participating schools can all appear as Pell vehicles. None is named in the facts. $5,071,935,520.23 is the obligation sum.
HOPE is state aid. Pell is 84.063. Mixing them changes datasets.
HOPE is not Pell, and online enrollment blurs geography
Georgia’s HOPE Scholarship is a state program. It is not CFDA 84.063. Mixing HOPE with $5,071,935,520.23 changes datasets.
An AZ-style caveat applies here too: a GA tag can follow a campus even when students attend online from other states, and Georgia residents at out-of-state campuses can appear elsewhere. $5,071,935,520.23 is not a census of Georgians receiving Pell.
Direct Loans and campus-based aid use other Catalog numbers. They are not inside this join.
Online enrollment can pull non-Georgia students onto a GA-coded campus award. Georgia residents at out-of-state campuses can appear elsewhere. This total is not a residency census.
Direct Loans sit outside this join.

Statewide GA, not a university ranking
This packet does not split 827 awards or $5,071,935,520.23 by institution. An Atlanta-campus story and a rural-campus story would need a different table. The extract stays statewide.
Do not rank Georgia colleges from this cell. Graduation and default rates are unpublished. Correlation with Georgia SSI is not causation: needs-tested income support and student grants are different statutes.
Atlanta campuses and rural campuses share GA. An institution story needs a campus table.
