The total Pell Grant funding amount for the year 2014 is $31.1 billion. Broken down this means that for 2015, the maximum grant appropriation per student is $4,860, and the mandatory entitlement amount is $915 for a total of $5,775 for the year. These amounts are set through 2017 and, at this point, years beyond that are still estimations.
The increase in federal spending on grants was driven by large increases (all in constant dollars) in the Pell Grant program for low-income students and in aid for military veterans. Total spending on the Pell Grant rose 58 percent, from $17.9-billion to $28.2-billion between 2008-9 and 2009-10. That jump was driven by a 16-percent increase in the maximum Pell Grant, the largest one-year increase in its history.
