This Bill (Federal Pell Grant Changes) Hurts Everyone

Honestly the law should never have passed, This will make it harder on families to come up with the spare money for fees books and other necessary expenses that were once covered by the Pell Grant. Now they aren't so what are we parents supposed to do if we don't have the money to cover those expenses, student loans? Me or my kids will have to take years to pay off and that's just more money out of our pockets.

Answer:

These expenses will still be covered, by law. It's just a question of whether or not a school will play the game of padding their cost of attendance expenses, so that students will get the highest Pell grant amount, possible.
