States cut aid to college students
State budgets bite into need based college aid as recession strains finances. At least a dozen states trim awards and tighten eligibility while demand climbs with more students seeking aid, risking dropouts and higher debt. Illinois plans slash MONETARY AWARD PROGRAM funds affecting 145,000 low income recipients. Ohio eliminates up to 2496 grants for community college students and more than halves aid for four-year schools.
