It mandates that federal agencies review and identify provisions that allocate funding based on racial demographics. The bill prohibits federal funding for institutions that discriminate based on race or ethnicity. It also increases funding for the Federal Pell Grant program, which supports needy students regardless of race or ethnicity. The PELL Act aims to ensure that federal funding does not support racial discrimination in higher education admissions.
