Thanks artichokegrower.
Among those who will lose Pell Grants in the summer are at least 65,000 new college students without high school diplomas and 63,000 who, like Torno, have spent more than six years in college.

“For many students who never finished high school, the loss of Pell Grants could put college out of reach”

Do you think? And the taxpayers are going to save how much?

Six years? I went to college in 2 different states took a half a year off, worked part time, and did my best to wreck my liver in the process, and I completed Mechanical Engineering in 4.5 years, with a 3.7 GPA to boot.

Alright...obscure movie quote...

I’ve been in this high school for seven and a half years...I’m no dummy
