Groups warn of dangers to financial aid cuts

A coalition of students and colleges in Wisconsin are calling on the Governor to protect financial aid in his state budget.

The governor has warned that all state programs could face cuts in his upcoming budget. If financial aid takes a hit, Wisconsin Association of Independent Colleges and Universities President Rolf Wegenke warns that it could force many students to give up on higher education. If that happens, he predicts many will never finish college.
