Michigan private college students scramble to replace scholarships cut - Whitmer David Jesse, Detroit Free Press

Thousands of Michigan students attending private colleges and universities are now scrambling to replace thousands of dollars in scholarship money axed Monday by Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Whitmer vetoed the money as part of her high-stakes duel with legislative Republicans over the state's budget for this fiscal year. "I'm pissed off," said Mike Collins, 52, of Novi. "Not that it was cut — but when it was cut. I've got two daughters going to school who are getting that money. We had planned on it and to yank it away after the school year starts is awful. Now we've got to come up with $5,000 more this year for them to go to school. We hadn't planned at all for that."
