Under both the White House's budget proposal and House Republicans' reconciliation bill, students' access to financial aid through the Pell Grant is at risk.

About 40% of undergraduates rely on Pell Grants to pay for college, and experts say if the plans are enacted, many of the lowest-income students would be forced to drop out.
