Loss Of Funding For Education

If a spending proposal that would cut 5.7  billion dollars out of the Pell Grant program goes  into effect,  students would lose a little more than 15 %  of funding they depend on. Higher Education Advocate Rich Williams puts it into perspective for Montana students.

 In Montana, 24,000 students will receive a Pell Grant next year. Should the House spending plan become law, Montana  will lose 15  million dollars  in Pell grant funding.
