No more two Pell Grants in a calendar year hurts talented minority students

 The  federal department  of education "2012 budget calls for ending a three-year experiment that allows students to qualify for two Pell Grants in a calendar year, to allow them to attend college year-round, though the program served a higher number of minority students with higher grade point averages and earned credits in the California two-year college system according to data of 2009-2010."
