Plan recasts state funds for private colleges
"Up to 37,500 students would no longer receive state scholarships to attend private colleges in Ohio under Gov. Ted Strickland's budget proposal."
Why, you ask? You might think that the budget is being cut? Not so.
"Although more money would be allotted for the new block grants -- $70 million, including $30 million for students of for-profit schools"
Here's the reason:
"Three-fourths of the 50,000 Choice Grant students could become ineligible because they or their families earn too much money."
"Eligibility for the Student Choice Grant is not based on need or academic merit." ...well this was the case before Strickland's education plan.
The little help that the "middle class" gets in college financial aid, is now gone, replaced with giving that money to others, based on "needs".
"Instead of requiring a set amount per student, the new program would give private schools the latitude to award different amounts of aid based on students' need, Jones said."
So we've went from a program that was set up to encourage students to stay in Ohio to attend college, to a socialist redistribution of wealth. You didn't know you were wealthy, did you?
