Summary
Pell Grant Equity Act of 2007 - Amends the Higher Education Act of 1965 to repeal the formula for calculation of an individual Pell Grant which includes, in part, the sum of the student's tuition. (Thus eliminates the "tuition sensitivity provision" which currently prohibits maximum Pell Grant awards to students attending low-tuition institutions of higher education even if their income is low enough to otherwise qualify for the maximum award.)
