Financial aid has proven to be a tough road bump for many Dreamers. However, it will now seem even more dim for these students as Obama's new budget plan for 2011 cuts about 4.9 Billion dollars from the Department of Education. If finding money for college seemed hard enough already, then be prepared for a tougher road. Of course, the possibilities of getting scholarships are still avialable, but it's definitely a lot more tougher now that many US citizens will also have a tougher time getting money since federal aid will now decrease.
The good news is that Senator Dick Durbin announced that he will reintroduce the DREAM Act, although this new version of the bill is expected to narrow down the number of eligible students. All I can say is that undocumented students must now keep trying harder to stand out and give Congress and the rest of America a reason to pass this bill. Hopefully they will soon realize the importance of an education.

Seems like you are building momentum. Keep up the good work!
ReplyDeleteThere's always a way bro with God on your side. I know things seem tough but God never puts obstacles in our life's that we cannot handle. I like how much you've dedicated yourself to this project and I know how strong you feel about this since your going through these trying times. Keep your faith up. Other then that, looks like your doing great on research, following up on what congress is leaning towards and everyone else who has a say on what gets passes amongst the house. Keep it up man and I know things will work out for you- your like the new Cesar Chavez.
