Inside Higher Ed: For many college students, summer is a time to pursue internships, work full-time or otherwise take a break from classes. Not so this year for many students at Louisiana community colleges.

He attributes that jump to the first full summer of year-round Pell Grants since Congress restored the aid last year.
