I am a firm believer and a advocate for educational grants. In your discussion post i saw that you mentioned pell grants in your post and I agree with you. Federal pell grants are awarded only to undergraduate students who have not earned a bachelor's or a professional degree (Davidson, 2013). I can speak from personal past experiences as a pell grant recipient. If it wasn't for pell grants I don't know how I would have made it through my undergraduate program. I believe that having an education is very important if you want to be a self dependent person.
