NO STATE GRANTS for the students of CSCC?

May 19, 2009 by Marquita Hubby

I was shocked and upset when I called the financial aid office today to find out that the state grants previously offered will not be available for the 2009-2010 school year for Columbus State students. I did a little reading into the matter only to learn that some budget cut proposed by Ted Strickland is the reason the school will not be receiving state aid at all for the next year or so. So, like many other CSCC students, I will be left struggling to pay for my education. How do you all feel about the new state budget cuts?
