Many Proprietary Schools Do Not Comply with Department of Education's Pell Grant Program Requirements

摘要

The Pell Grant program provides money to help needy individuals finance their postsecondary education. The objective of the program at proprietary schools--generally private, for profit vocational schools--is to prepare students for employment. GAO found that many schools were not adhering to requirements for administering the program. Improved monitoring of proprietary schools is needed to better assure that they comply with the program requirements and that students obtain intended benefits.
