COE education professor Pedro Villarreal III, who specializes in education finance, is quoted in an Orlando Sentinel story that suggests more Florida college students are applying for — and receiving — Pell grants because more Floridians are having trouble paying for rising education costs. Nearly 40 percent of public-university undergraduate students got Pell grants last year — up from 22 percent six years earlier, according to the latest state university system data.
