Abstract | This article explores the role of Pell grants in the rise of for-profit colleges and universities (FPCUs) in the United States by examining National Center for Education Statistics data (Pell are financial "needs-based" grants to students to offset cost of tuition; Pell grants are the main source of federal financial support available to FPCUs). Two major findings are discussed: FPCUs have more than double the percentage of enrollment previously reported and receive greater Pell per FTE than not-for-profits (NFPs) or publics. FPCUs spend less on instruction than NFPs while some institutions have more Pell revenue than instructional expenses. Implications for educational inequality and public purposes of higher education are discussed. (Contains 12 tables and 7 endnotes.) (As Provided). |
