Federal Pell Grant Program in Louisiana

Louisiana and Pell as a pair

CFDA 84.063 is titled FEDERAL PELL GRANT PROGRAM. Crossed with Louisiana place of performance, obligations sum to $2,375,224,543.59 on 627 awards. The national 84.063 hub includes other states. Louisiana’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $2,375,224,543.59 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of Pell recipients or campuses in Louisiana.

Six hundred twenty-seven awards is a campus-aid assistance file with hundreds of rows against a nine-figure sum. The join does not name recipients. Packet facts are $2,375,224,543.59, 627 awards, LA, and 84.063. Correlation is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Keep Federal Pell Grant Program and Louisiana together when reading $2,375,224,543.59.

84.063 is not Louisiana IDEA

Special Education Grants To States (CFDA 84.027) is a different Education catalog. Mixing Pell and IDEA in Louisiana would invent a combined student-aid-and-special-education book. Mixing those series into $2,375,224,543.59 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Louisiana, CFDA 84.063, $2,375,224,543.59, 627 awards. Campus names, student counts, and SAI figures are unpublished.

The catalog title names Federal Pell Grant Program, not a ranking of Louisiana colleges. Dividing $2,375,224,543.59 by 627 yields about $3.79 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 627 is not a student, campus, or FAFSA census.

Pell often posts as recurring assistance actions to institutions rather than one row per student. Reading 627 as 627 Louisiana undergraduates would confuse award actions with people. The packet publishes no fiscal year; do not annualize $2,375,224,543.59 into a school-year budget. A Shreveport-coded award with a Texas place-of-performance tag is a different cell. Quote Federal Pell Grant Program in Louisiana, CFDA 84.063, Louisiana federal spending, Louisiana programs, and All spending ties as separate pages rather than summing them.

Louisiana geography, not a campus roster

LA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to New Orleans, Baton Rouge, or Shreveport can share the tag. Awards coded to Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi stay outside $2,375,224,543.59 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $2.38 billion into a parish-by-parish enrollment map.

Louisiana federal spending is the all-program parent. 84.063 is one row on Louisiana programs. $2.38 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Federal Pell Grant Program in Louisiana for the filtered table, CFDA 84.063 for the catalog without a Louisiana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,375,224,543.59.

Six hundred twenty-seven awards, still obligations

$2,375,224,543.59 ÷ 627 is about $3.79 million per award. That average is a low-seven-figure mean, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 627 as a record count, not as 627 unique campuses or 627 named students.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 627 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,375,224,543.59 without changing the join key of 84.063 and LA. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,375,224,543.59 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Federal Pell Grant Program plus Louisiana. Do not treat $2,375,224,543.59 as an outlay series.

What the Louisiana Pell join does not prove

A large 84.063 total tagged to Louisiana does not measure whether college enrollment rose in Louisiana, and it does not equal aid already disbursed to students. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,375,224,543.59 on 627 awards for Federal Pell Grant Program in Louisiana.

Keep both sides of the join: Federal Pell Grant Program and Louisiana, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,375,224,543.59 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 627 as a student, campus, or FAFSA census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a tuition-discount narrative. Cite Federal Pell Grant Program together with Louisiana whenever you reuse $2,375,224,543.59.
