Details leaked about the White House's upcoming education budget include proposals to cut science programs and student aid - Ed Andrew Kreighbaum, Inside Higher Ed

The White House's 2018 budget for education — expected to be released next week as part of the administration's full spending proposals — appears to double down on the eye-popping cuts to programs included in the Trump administration's "skinny budget" released in March. According to details leaked to The Washington Post this week, the forthcoming budget calls for eliminating the federal Public Service Loan Forgiveness program, letting the Perkins Loan program expire and ending the subsidy that pays the interest on some undergraduate loans while borrowers are in college. http://www.businessinsider.com/details-leaked-about-the-white-houses-upcoming-education-budget-2017-5
