Government budget cuts could impact UNH - Max Sullivan, New Hampshire Online

The federal budget cuts referred to as the sequester went into effect Friday, March 1, and included in these cuts was government funding of public universities. While tuition is not expected to go up due to the cuts, financial aid and research programs could suffer. The good news for students attending UNH and expecting to graduate in the near future is that financial aid is not expected to change drastically in the next two years. Pell grants have been protected from the sequester in 2013 and are expected to remain intact next year, as well. In addition, work study will not be affected in 2013, and those work study commitments already made for 2014 are expected to be honored. However, no one at UNH is certain about what will come after this two-year period. http://www.tnhonline.com/government-budget-cuts-could-impact-unh-1.3004504#.UTkPyhyG32s
