Vera coordinated and recorded a webinar on the reinstatement of Pell grant eligibility for incarcerated people. The webinar panelist's discussed the law passed, highlighted how postsecondary education in prison operates now, and new considerations for corrections and higher education institutions in light of the new law. Panelists included representatives from corrections, higher education institutions, and the US Department of Higher Education. This webinar and audio transcript will be a resource added to the National Reentry Resource Center for public viewing and use.
Please check the box next to the following questions if the answer is 'yes'.
Because the panel was coordinated virtually, we were flexible with scheduling and included panelists from key stakeholders in Pell reauthorization and prison education.
