It looks like the max you can get from Pell Grant is $5,500. I assume that is per year.

One of the problems with it is that any accredited school can allow students to get Pell Grant money. Millions in Pell Grant dollars end up being fed to these crappy diploma mill schools that like University of Phoenix that churn out under-qualified students and have enormous drop out rates. 40% of the students that start at these schools drop out within the first 6 months. The school does't care so long as they get paid.

Maybe they need to cut the Pell Grant money to these shitty schools and focus on giving it to Community Colleges and Universities.
