The state government is making cuts in college financial aid programs, which will likely lead to more debt for students attending state schools. Among the cuts, financial award sizes are being reduced, some grants are being eliminated, and student eligibility is being tightened.

The cuts probably could not have happened at a worst time. Because of the poor economy, more students are seeking aid as their parents have lost jobs or seen a drop in their savings.

Without the financial aid, future and current students may be forced to forgo college, transfer to cheaper schools, take out more student loans, or cut back on other expenses like rent and groceries.
