Here ya go:
“Your school can apply Federal Pell Grant funds to your school costs, pay you directly, or combine these methods. Learn more about how (and when) youll be paid.”

Let me say this, if someone used their Pell Grant (any school who pays the student), for furniture then they will have to repay the funds or pay for the classes and books themselves. If they don’t take the classes that money will have to be repaid.
So don’t say people can use their Pell Grant for personal reasons unless it is gas or books when a student gets what is knows as a leftover check after classes are paid for. Either way the money from a Pell Grant is not for anything but School Expenses, PERIOD.
You made it look like people can use that money for anything without consequences, and that is not true.
