More and More Students Run to Financial Aid

Cal State Long Beach students are receiving $27 million more financial aid than past years according to Interim Provost Donald Para who spoke on behalf of President F. King Alexander at last Thursday's Academic Senate meeting.

Students are not letting the budget cuts get in the way of their education and are now taking the initiative to seek financial aid. Para also stated that although there are 2,200 fewer students on campus this year, the number of students receiving financial aid has gone up.

This comes as good news for those students who are feeling the pressure the most. It is a relief to know that there are initiatives being taken by our school leaders to get more federal funding for scholarships and other financial services on campus.
