<p>"Poor would be hard hit by proposed California budget cuts
The governor suggests dismantling welfare programs for families and ending CalGrants for college students."
"Also potentially on the chopping block is CalGrants, a financial assistance program that offers cash grants to lower- and middle-income college students each year. The governor's proposal would eliminate the 77,000 new grants awarded each year at a cost of $180 million, but that saving would eventually grow to more than $900 million as students graduated and the program was phased out."

<p>This is not a good time to be a Californian seeking an education. I think we’ll see the state schools continue to have big fee hikes, less aid, fewer grants and huge budget cuts at the schools. 4 year graduation rates will go down. Very sad.</p>
