While the aid regulation* received substantial changes, the actual
amount ol monev given to the program has not been increased.

seal s funding bill. alMuit $5.8 billion was set aside to fund fell grants
in the l'.ffMH srhool seal With this amount ol money, tfie program
tan give out a maximum $2,JUKI gram. $ 100 less than this year’s top
award.
"The appropriation tot fell grants has never been enough to lulls
fund the program." saw Headier Bodell, a research associate with the
educational finance Rescan h Council in Washington, D C.
While student reaction to the changes remains to be seen, one
financial aid rhange — the change in defining independent status —
has been met with resistance. Undet the new policy, fewer students
will be considered independent.
Students at ft. Ilavs Stale l\ in Kansas have started a letter-writing
campaign in hopes of getting lawmakers to reverse the changes, savs
Rogci Barnhart, a ft. Hays senior and leader of the Committee for
Student Independence. "Desjieiate times require desperate mea
