Abstract:
The state's financial aid largely focused on students entering traditional four-year programs with less emphasis on those individuals entering community colleges. The author offers a statistical breakdown for the number of community college students and aid received. Sources for this funding is also explored, showing that much of the community college students receive federal funding and less state funding. Six sources of state funding are highlighted and the author encourages development of such programs like the Need-Based Teaching and Nursing Grant Program and how to enhance these for community college students.
