Twelve percent of students at the university are Pell Grant recipients. With tuition at $35,000 per year and room and board at $13,000, "Pell Grants are incredibly important to make college affordable," Fecteau said. However, not all share this view. Rep. Paul Ryan, a Catholic, has sculpted a budget endorsed by Mitt Romney that limits Pell Grant eligibility, cutting the Pell Grant program by $170 billion in the next decade. According to Education Trust, a national education reform organization, this could lead to more than 1 million students losing their Pell Grants entirely in the next 10 years.
