Usefulness:

I interviewed a fellow student who recieves a Pell Grant as part of his financial aid.  Josh Clark recieves a Pell Grant check once a term to attend the University of Oregon.  Josh gets the maximum 4,371 dollar award each year, along with 2,972 from the Oregon Opportunity Grant.  He uses the money from Grants, along with what it left from student loans as living expenses.  The money usually does get him through the term, but he says that it is barely enough.  When asking about meals Josh replied “lots of Ramen and Mac & Cheese”.
