Trump budget could cut support, aid for UMN students - Jasmine Snow, Minnesota Daily

A recent budget proposal from President Donald Trump calls for steep cuts to federal aid and loan forgiveness programs. The proposal includes a $5.6 billion, or nearly 8%, reduction to U.S. Department of Education funding, including a $630 million cut from its work-study program. Public Service Loan Forgiveness and Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant programs would also be eliminated, according to Inside Higher Ed. But experts say the proposal will likely see pushback as it moves through the legislative process.
