If you are currently a student, would this affect you?

I am not a student but I could see how our state crisis could cause this. It is sad but probably a smart choice to make to save our country. Not only on this program, but lots of state ran programs.

 I so agree with you!

I'm not a student but state student aid is already being cut back here.  

What I want to know is WHY with citizen's student aid being cut back is Obama trying to give illegals scholarships?  Sickening how we don't take care of our own.  They are ILLEGAL!!  If I did something illegal I would go to jail.  They do illegal things and are rewarded for it.

Three are a lot of other programs that could take a hit before the politicians go after education. But they won't touch those....

I am not a student, but I think there are more important cuts that are being made. Everyone wants the country "fixed", but no one is willing to see cuts to the programs *they* want/use.

 That is not good news at all!
