The plan is to cut the entire Department of Education. That would cut 4,400 employees -- most of whom are tasked with administering funds like Pell Grants. Those funds are mostly matters of law, so I'm not sure if the goal is to just not actually follow that law, or what. If you did indeed stop following that law, you could save a goodly chunk of money -- over $200 billion. But the actual employees are only a tiny fraction of that cost, so firing the entire staff would save far, far less (perhaps half a billion.)
