TRUMP GRANTS. President Donald Trump loves to put his name on things, whether skyscrapers towering over major cities or federal stimulus checks. Now, Republicans in Congress want to go a step further by placing Trump’s name somewhere new: Pell Grants.

The famous federal financial aid program for low-income college students is named after former Rhode Island U.S. Sen. Claiborne Pell, who died in 2009. An appropriations bill moving through Congress would rename a new offshoot of that program as “Trump Grants.”

Traditional Pell Grants have been limited to students enrolling in programs lasting at least 600 clock hours or 15 weeks. That excludes lots of industry-specific training programs in fields such as health care and information technology that don’t last that long.

The “big, beautiful bill” that Trump signed into law in July includes a new Workforce Pell Grant that, beginning next year, will offer aid to students enrolled in programs lasting at least 150 clock hours or eight weeks.

This new financial aid could soon be known as Trump Grants if Republicans in Congress get their way. The proposal cleared a House subcommittee on Tuesday.

That same proposal also includes an extension of the Hyde Amendment, the prohibition on federal funding for abortion named for former Republican U.S. Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, who died in 2007. But Republicans haven’t proposed renaming that. At least not yet.
