William Craft, president of Concordia College (MN), writes: It is time to help Americans seize that opportunity again. Fearful of debt, unfamiliar with Pell, fewer low-income people are applying to college. Since COVID swept over us, enrollment across American higher education has fallen by more than one million students. And with that drop, America’s public high school students in the class of 2021 left $3.75 billion in Pell Grants unused. In Minnesota alone, Pell recipients fell by 11% from 2019 to 2021.
