Grants have been awarded to four organisations that cover areas from Shetland to the Kintyre peninsula.

The money supports lower-income college students through Pell Grants and other scholarship programs, public school students with disabilities, Head Start for preschool, and meal programs, among other expenditures.

But that analysis is focused on two factors related to Pell Grants and does not take into account economic data such as earnings.

The largest program provides Pell Grants, which do not have to be repaid, to students with low family incomes.

“Grants pay not only for experiments, they pay for training. They pay for grad students. We’re training the next generation of scientists.”
