Abstract
The Secretary of Education (Secretary) proposes to amend the regulations governing institutional eligibility, general provisions, and the Federal Pell Grant (Pell Grant) Program under title IV of the Higher Education Act (HEA) of 1965, as amended (the title IV, HEA programs). The proposed regulations would implement statutory changes to the title IV, HEA programs included in the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB), signed into law by President Trump on July 4, 2025. The OBBB made numerous changes to the HEA, including changes to student eligibility requirements for the Pell Grant Program and the establishment of Workforce Pell Grants for students who enroll in a new type of eligible program called an "eligible workforce program," intended to be a high-quality, performance-based, short-term program that supports America's workforce needs.
