Budget impasse forcing midstate Pennsylvania colleges to 'cover' students' bills, offer loans - Larry Portzline, Central Penn Business Journal

This past week, I emailed a few midstate colleges to ask how they're dealing with students who haven't yet received their PHEAA grants due to the state budget stalemate. The fall semester is already a month old, so I wanted to know if schools are doing anything special to accommodate students' unpaid tabs. The idea actually came from an administrator at one area college who volunteered how this particular institution was handling the matter and wondered aloud (via email, actually) what other colleges and universities were doing. http://www.cpbj.com/article/20150928/BLOGEXTRA/150929811/budget-impasse-forcing-midstate-colleges-to-cover-students-bills-offer-loans
