Budgetax cuts threaten college aid and enrollment
A group of students and parents express anger and confusion over federal cuts to student aid. Marian Benedikt says she spent 12 000 on her son’s medical school fees and has little savings left.

Parents, educators, and a Pittsfield contractor fear rising tuition and reduced aid will lower enrollments, while officials urge timely aid applications despite a bleak outlook for Pell Grants and loan programs.
