Reagan Proposes Deep Cuts to College Aid Budget
President Reagan's education budget seeks a 27 percent cut to student aid next year, totaling about 2.3 billion dollars. The plan would reduce overall education funding from 18.4 billion to 15.5 billion, eliminating the State Student Incentive Grant and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant programs and denying Pell Grants, NDSLs, or Work-Study for families above specific income thresholds.

Reagan plans major cuts to student aid programs
The proposals slash or eliminate funding for the Fund for the Improvement of Postsecondary Education and several remedial and bilingual programs. Critics led by Dallas Martin warn that millions of students will lose aid as Pell Grant and Work Study ceilings hit, while Congress must decide whether to approve or modify the budget amid deficit pressure.
