Dear friend,
Will you take one minute to call your representative in support of the
REAL Act?
Call 1-844-899-8819
tel:1-844-899-8819
FAMM believes that incarcerated students should have the ability to
pursue a college education while incarcerated. Why? Studies prove that
college education is a cost-effective way to reduce reoffending.
Unfortunately, the current ban on Pell Grants for incarcerated
students has severely limited the availability of college education in
our nation's prisons.
Thankfully, there is a bipartisan bill in Congress - the REAL
Act (H.R. 2168/S. 1074) - that would restore Pell Grant
eligibility to incarcerated students in state and federal facilities,
allowing motivated people to seek self-improvement through a college
education.
The restoration of Pell Grant eligibility to incarcerated students has
received support from policymakers as diverse as Secretary of
Education Betsy DeVos and House Education and Labor Committee Chairman
Bobby Scott (D-Va.).
Help us get this important bill over the finish line! Call
1-844-899-8819 to be directed to your member of Congress, and urge
them to support and cosponsor the REAL Act (H.R. 2168/S. 1074).

Best,
Molly Gill
Vice President of Policy, FAMM
