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 Flagship campuses, community colleges, and for-profit schools are unpublished splits.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.
Pell obligations are not tuition already posted
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $13,269,630,994.20 headline is the obligation sum, not tuition credits already applied on student accounts. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Texas confuses two USAspending concepts.
Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Texas's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 2,101-award USAspending file leaves this series. Keep the obligation label on $13,269,630,994.20. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.
What the Texas 84.063 table omits
The extract has no roster of Pell recipients, FAFSA filers, or named campuses. Facts remain $13,269,630,994.20, 2,101 awards, CFDA 84.063, and Texas. This page will not invent a county league table. Sibling 84.063 joins in other states are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Texas (TX) excludes Oklahoma, Louisiana, New Mexico, and Arkansas. An institution coded to another state is not this cell even if Texas students attend.
Texas federal spending and Texas programs place 84.063 among other listings. CFDA 84.063 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA × state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Texas spending the packet never computed. The $13,269,630,994.20 figure is the tagged pair only.
