(But does not make the Pell Grant program an "entitlement" program which would give each qualified student a contractual right against the United States for the amount to which the student is entitled under Pell Grant provisions.) Provides that Pell Grant recipients shall not be considered to be individual grantees for purposes of specified Federal law. Repeals specified provisions for a separate need analysis formula for Pell Grants.

Requires States to give priority in awarding such scholarships to students who will receive a Pell Grant for the academic year for which the scholarship award is made. Requires, if program appropriations are less than a specified amount for any fiscal year, that program funds be distributed as competitive grants to States for that fiscal year.

Revises the formula for determining the amount of a Pell grant award to a student. Uses in such formula a specified basic allowance ($2,300 in relation to the FY 1993 $3,600 maximum grant), plus 25 percent of tuition (costing up to $1,300 in FY 1993). Makes such basic allowance $3,000, in addition to the cost of tuition, in the case of a student who has dependent care expenses or disability related expenses. Prohibits any Pell grant from being: (1) less than $2,400 minus the expected family contribution; or (2) more than the specified maximum award amount. Prohibits any Pell grant from being less than $400 (currently $200), but allows any student eligible for at least $200 to receive such a $400 grant.

Prohibits any Pell grant to an incarcerated student: (1) in an amount exceeding normal tuition and fees plus an allowance for books and supplies; (2) if it is used to supplant, rather than supplement, the State's FY 1988 level of postsecondary education assistance to incarcerated individuals; or (3) if the individual is serving under a death sentence or a life sentence without eligibility for parole or release. Increases the periods of eligibility for Pell grants for students in undergraduate degree or certificate programs of various durations.

Revises provisions for the amount and duration of supplemental grants. Allows a supplemental grant to exceed the maximum amount of $4,000 by as much as $400 if reasonable study abroad costs exceed the cost of attendance at the home institution by more than 20 percent. Allows the period of supplemental grant eligibility to include the first academic year of the first postbaccalaureate degree or the first year of graduate study if the financial aid officer determines that the student has exceptional needs comparable to undergraduate students receiving such grants. Requires institutions in the supplemental grants program to agree that the Federal share of awards will not exceed 75 percent, unless the Secretary determines that the non-Federal share would cause financial hardship at an eligible institution which serves a large number or percentage of low-income and minority students. Requires institutions which are participating in the supplemental grants program to: (1) award supplemental grants to Pell grant recipients in an amount proportionate to the student's Pell grant award for that academic year; and (2) determine awards for supplemental grants without regard to the determination of a minimum student contribution, self-help amount, or eligibility for assistance under any other parts of title IV other than the Pell Grant program. Requires that at least five percent of an institution's supplemental grants allotment shall be made available to less-than-full-time students if the total financial need of all such students exceeds five percent of that allotment. (Retains the requirement that a reasonable proportion of such allotment be made available to such students if such allotment is based in part on their demonstrated financial need.) Provides for an additional amount to be allocated under specified conditions under the supplemental grants program to eligible institutions from which 50 percent or more of the Pell grant recipients attending such institution graduate or transfer to a four-year institution of higher education.

Revises the formula for determining the amount of a Pell grant award to a student. Uses in such formula a specified basic allowance ($2,300 in relation to the FY 1993 $3,600 maximum grant), plus 25 percent of tuition (costing up to $1,300 in FY 1993). Prohibits any Pell grant from being: (1) less than $2,400 minus the expected family contribution; or (2) more than the specified maximum award amount. Prohibits any Pell grant from being less than $400 (currently $200), but allows any student eligible for at least $200 to receive such a $400 grant. Modifies the prohibition against Pell grant awards to students attending on a less than half-time basis, to allow such awards if the expected family contribution for such a student is $200 or less. Provides an exception under which a student may receive two Pell grants during a single 12-month period if the student: (1) is enrolled full-time in a program of study that is three years or longer at an eligible institution; and (2) completes course work toward a bachelor's degree that exceeds the full academic year requirements.

Directs the Secretary to reimburse each such institution for the full amount awarded. Requires such institutions to enter into specified agreements with the Secretary. Repeals specified provisions for a separate need analysis formula for Pell grants. (Later in this Act, a single new need analysis formula is established for all title IV student aid programs, including Pell grants.) Extends through FY 1999 the authorization of appropriations for the Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grants program (supplemental grants) (and increases the amount of such authorization). Revises provisions for the amount and duration of supplemental grants. Allows a supplemental grant to exceed the maximum amount of $4,000 by as much as $400 if reasonable study abroad costs exceed the cost of attendance at the home institution by more than 20 percent. Allows the period of supplemental grant eligibility to include the first academic year of the first postbaccalaureate degree or the first year of graduate study if the financial aid officer determines that the student has exceptional needs comparable to undergraduate students receiving such grants. Requires institutions in the supplemental grants program to agree that the Federal share of awards will not exceed 75 percent, unless the Secretary determines that the non-Federal share would cause financial hardship at an eligible institution which serves a large number or percentage of low-income and minority students. Requires institutions which are participating in the supplemental grants program to: (1) award supplemental grants to Pell grant recipients in an amount proportionate to the student's Pell grant award for that academic year; and (2) determine awards for supplemental grants without regard to the determination of a minimum student contribution, self-help amount, or eligibility for assistance under any other parts of title IV other than the Pell grant program. Requires that at least five percent of an institution's supplemental grants allotment shall be made available to less-than-full-time students if the total financial need of all such students exceeds five percent of that allotment. (Retains the requirement that a reasonable proportion of such allotment be made available to such students if such allotment is based in part on their demonstrated financial need.) Provides for an additional amount to be allocated under specified conditions under the supplemental grants program to eligible institutions from which 50 percent or more of the Pell grant recipients attending such institution graduate or transfer to a four-year institution of higher education.

Increases to $4,000 (currently $2,500) the maximum amount for any such grants for full-time attendance at an institution of higher education and for campus-based community service work learning study jobs. Prohibits charging any student or parent a fee payable to an entity other than the State, for purposes of collecting data to make determinations of financial need under the State student incentive grant program. Establishes the Early Intervention Program to make grants to States to enable them to conduct early intervention programs. Directs the Secretary to make allotments to States to pay the Federal share of the costs of program activities. Bases such allotments on relative numbers of eligible students in States, and provides for minimum allotments and reallotments. Bases student eligibility for the early intervention program on their eligibility: (1) to be counted under the chapter 1 program for educationally disadvantaged students under title I of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act of 1965; (2) for assistance under the National School Lunch Act; or (3) for assistance under the Aid to Families with Dependent Children (AFDC) program under part A of title IV of the Social Security Act. Requires a State to use its allotment to conduct an early intervention program that: (1) provides eligible students in any of the grades pre-school through 12 with continuing systems of mentoring and advising that are coordinated with Federal and State community service initiatives, that may include specified support services, and that may be provided by specified types of service providers; (2) requires each student to agree to achieve certain academic milestones in exchange for tuition assistance; (3) establishes a plan for such assistance; (4) contains an incentive system to encourage greater collaboration between elementary and secondary schools and institutions of higher education; (5) provides financial aid counseling; and (6) provides for evaluation to allow service providers to track eligible student progress during program participation.
