This research brief draws upon three years of data collection through a national mixed-methods project,
Exploring the Experiences of Participants in Second Chance Pell. Here we highlight the perspectives of Pell recipients enrolled at four institutions of higher education participating in the federal Experiment. Specifically, we focus on students’ perceptions of the costs of postsecondary education and the Pell Grant. Overall, students report that they incur many expenses to participate in postsecondary education that are not covered by Pell.

This research brief draws upon three years of data collection through a national mixed-methods project, Exploring the Experiences of Participants in Second Chance Pell. Here we draw from the perspectives of higher education administrators and practitioners participating in the federal Experiment. Specifically, we focus on their perceptions and experiences as to whether the Pell Grant adequately covers the costs of providing high-quality postsecondary education in prison. Unquestionably, administrators and practitioners report that the Pell Grant alone is insufficient.

This study helps to explain how the use of the criminal history box on college applications and the supplemental requirements and procedures that follow create barriers to higher education for otherwise qualified applicants. In this study, which focuses on the State University of New York (SUNY), we found that almost two out of every three applicants who disclosed a felony conviction were denied access to higher education, not because of a purposeful denial of their application but because they were driven out of the application process.
