Federal Pell Grant Program funding in Illinois

A thicker Pell action file on Illinois

Keep USAspending rows labeled FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM whose geography is Illinois (IL). One thousand three hundred forty-two awards remain. They sum to $4,911,338,057.20. Pell moves through participating institutions. USAspending often records campus-level actions rather than one row per student.

The implied mean is about $3,659,700 per award — lower than Georgia’s Pell implied mean on a thicker file. More rows and a lower average can mean more small campus vehicles. Unique students are unpublished. The packet does not name community colleges or private campuses.

Illinois federal spending is every CFDA on IL. CFDA 84.063 is Pell nationwide. Federal Pell Grant Program in Illinois is the overlap. Illinois programs and All spending ties are the indexes.

Community colleges, public universities, and private participating schools can all mint Pell vehicles. None is named in the facts.

Illinois SSI is 6,421 awards. Illinois SNAP is 3. Pell is 1,342. Three Catalogs, three grains, one IL tag.

MAP grants are not Pell

Illinois Monetary Award Program (MAP) is a state grant. It is not CFDA 84.063. Mixing MAP with $4,911,338,057.20 changes datasets.

An IL tag can follow a campus even when students attend online from other states. Illinois residents at out-of-state campuses can appear on other 84.063 cells. This total is not a census of Illinoisans receiving Pell.

Direct Loans and campus-based aid sit outside this join. SSI and SNAP are different Illinois pairs in this slice; do not merge student aid into income-support cells.

MAP is state aid. Pell is 84.063. Mixing them changes datasets.

Online enrollment blurs residency. An IL tag is campus coding, not a census of Illinoisans.
