AAU joined the American Council on Education (ACE) and 18 other higher education organizations in endorsing the Tax-Free Pell Grant Act (H.R. 3000), which “would repeal the taxability of Pell Grants and help hundreds of thousands of low-income Pell Grant recipients access the American Opportunity Tax Credit (AOTC).” Last October, AAU also joined ACE in a letter urging for a Tax-Free Pell Grant Act in end-of-the year tax legislation.
