We must fix a broken system, not by throwing more money at it, but demanding financial accountability by higher educational systems.

The Pell Grant program is the cornerstone of Federal student aid.

We can't have everything always given to us, and I knew I just had to work extra hours despite being in a pre-medical program.

I think that everybody agrees that Pell Grants have been an extraordinary and powerful tool in helping low-income students across this Nation access a post-secondary education.

We want to support our students. We want to give them every single one, regardless of socioeconomic status, a chance for opportunity for growth.

Institutions with poor Pell Grant completion rates should be held accountable.

Sadly, the truth is that colleges and universities, not the students, are the major beneficiaries of the Pell Grant program.

A Pell Grant should not be allowed so often to be a ticket to nowhere.

Pumping additional dollars into the Pell Grant problem will not solve the serious underlying issues plaguing the higher education sector.

I've been very vocal about administrative bloat.

Instead, the answer is to pour more money into a system that honestly is broken, and has been failing our students, and saddling them with tremendous debt.

I truly understand the difficulties of the burdens that we're now placing upon students in overwhelming debt.

Congress created a very generous Federal student aid system.

Federal criminal justice policy has a checkered past, but Republicans and Democrats are working together to solve those difficult problems.

We are a nation of second chances.

It's really been powerful testimony. And this is obviously something that is a bipartisan issue, things that we can really work on.

America is known as the land of opportunity for a reason.

Steady work, performed with care and pride, honors the dignity of an individual.
