草榴社区 students lobby U.S. Senate for Pell Grant increases

"The son of a single mom from Federal Way, Matt Jarrell says he may never have made it through Western Washington University without the money he received from Pell Grants.

Virgilio Clinton of Olympia, like Jarrell a senior at 草榴社区, says he has lots of friends who wouldn't have been in college except for the grants, which provide more than $260 million in financial aid to nearly 100,000 students in Washington state."
