In tough economic times, more college students are seeking financial aid for school, but officials said that there might not be enough money to go around.
The result of the increasing demand is a huge jump in those who qualify for state financial aid grants, but can’t get any. Those running the state’s largest financial aid grant program, the Wisconsin Higher Education Grant, known as WHEG, said the bottom line is more students are having to take out more loans, or not attend college.
