💰 US Pell Grant Recipients Declined by 36% Over the Past Decade
Federal Pell grants, the largest federal grant program offered to undergraduates in the United States and designed to assist students from low-income households, had 9.4 million recipients in 2011. Since then, the number of recipients has steadily declined, falling to 6 million recipients in 2022. Pell grant recipients nearly doubled from 2005 to 2010, likely due to increased funding, allowing more students from disadvantaged backgrounds to gain access to higher education.

China surpassed the United States in 2021 and leads in electric car sales, with further growth estimated in 2024. Europe also shows substantial growth, followed by the US and the rest of the world. The total number of electric cars sold is estimated to reach over 16M units in 2024.
