Financial Aid Under Fire
The Republican leadership in Congress recently proposed deep cuts in the Pell Grant program.
Sadly, it is the Pell Grants that make it possible for low income students of all ages to attend college.
At a time when unemployment is extremely high for those without a college degree...more than twice as high as it is for college graduates, shouldn't we be doing everything possible to educate our workforce?
If you agree that institutional scholarships are not enough, and that federal financial aid should be readily available to students with financial aid, this would be a good time to contact your representatives.
