Four in 10 students receive Pell Grants to help fund their college education. A new infographic recently released by the Center for American Progress explores who receives Pell Grants and the role these grants play in higher education for low-income students.

According to the data, Pell Grants helped nearly 8 million students attend college in 2015. The infographic also includes information on where Pell recipients enroll, the average and maximum awards students receive, and the demographic breakdown of recipients.
