As mentioned in my previous post, the budget for education may eliminate student aid for CSULB. Unfortunately, two grants are no longer available for the 2011-12 school year.
The National Science and Mathematics Access to Retain Talent Grant and the Academic Competitive Grant will not see the light of day for the next Fall semester. The Daily 49er reported the director of financial aid Nicolas Valdiva saying the latter grants will be cut to balance the federal defecit. (Here's the article: http://www.daily49er.com/news/lack-of-federal-support-ends-some-student-grants-1.2508599)
Meanwhile, according to the governor's proposed budget, found here: http://www.ebudget.ca.gov/pdf/BudgetSummary/HigherEducation.pdf, the CSU system's total funding will decrease by 4.5%, meaning a proposed cut of at least $216 million.
