Recently, the SBCTC advised all colleges that due to the upcoming budget cuts portions of the Opportunity Grant funds may be affected and colleges allocations may be adjusted.
What does that mean for students?
-Depending on the severity of the cut, the scope of assistance that each student is offered will be reduced. For example we may only be able to help with a small book award instead of books and tuition or perhaps only be able to fund 5 credits of tuition and no books.
What can you do?
Pay attention to announcements from the Governor and Legislature. Write letters to your local representatives and share how the Opportunity Grant has impacted your educational experience.
These are hard times but one thing is for sure, we will get thru it.
