About three-quarters of Pell Grant funds (76% in 2004 and 77% in 2005) have been awarded to students
falling within 150% of the pverty line. The target has been set to have the SEOG program (currently at
71%) approximate the results of the Pell Grants.
Explanation. Increases in the maximum award without other changes in the formulas used to
award SEOG grants will tend to lower the percentage of funds going to the neediest students.
