I don't have it as bad as many students, but I'm paying my tuition myself, and I was counting on that scholarship to help. The fact that the government is not honoring a scholarship that they promised to so many students makes it seem like continuing education is not as important to them as it should be. This was definitely a hard blow for far too many students. The government really needs to get their priorities straight and figure out how to keep their promises.

Kids have already started the semester, I have heard a lot of colleges want it by Oct 1 or the kids can pack. Tax pop, tax bottled water which is more impotant pop and bottled water or MI kids with 4 year degrees? Lets get priorities together. If the money does not come in we are showing our young MI residents that givt can not be trusted, and it might go through their minds why should I pay back student loans I just can't "come up with the money." We don't want MI to look like its being run by a box of rocks get that money to the kids.
