Audience and agenda
CHESS has been assisting students with financial aid since 1995. CHESS consults with Universities and informs them of changes in financial aid laws. This organization helps out 50 colleges throughout the country.
Usefulness:
This gave me all the information that I needed to know about the financial aid program’s history. Pell grants were introduced in 1965, but back then they were called Basic Grants. In 1975 the name was changed to the Pell Grant, honoring Senator Claiborne Pell’s support of education.
