Budget cut endangers Iowa osteopathic college students
Des Moines Iowa students at Des Moines College of Osteopathic Medicine face heavy costs if Governor Ray's budget eliminates the $1.2 million annual state aid. The grant supports 30 percent Iowa enrollment, lowers in state tuition, and funds a shift from a three to four year program, with many students needing $5 000 to $6 000 more next year. The Iowa College Aid Commission has urged raising aid to $1.8 million then $2 million the next year, but Ray did not endorse continued funding.
