Pell Grants for job training
What they say
Her campaign says she is working to let Pell Grants pay for job training, not just college degrees.
“She is also working to allow Pell Grants to apply to job training, not just college degrees.”
What the record shows ·
She joined the JOBS Act of 2023 (H.R. 793), officially a bill to extend Pell Grant eligibility to certain short-term programs, as a cosponsor on May 24, 2023; it had no floor vote. Workforce Pell Grants became law in 2025 as section 83002 of Public Law 119-21, the reconciliation act, which she voted against on passage on May 22, 2025 (Roll Call 145) and on the final House vote on July 3, 2025 (Roll Call 190).
Limit: Her cosponsorship shows the direction she states. Her votes against the act that created Workforce Pell Grants were votes on a reconciliation bill of several hundred pages, not on that section, and a vote against a vehicle is not a vote against each of its provisions. They are still the only recorded votes she has cast on a law that did what her campaign says she is working toward, and a reader should see both.
