MID-MICHIGAN (WJRT) -- (11/02/09)--Gov. Jennifer Granholm's cuts to education are being felt at the college level where students lost their Michigan Promise Scholarship money.
The funding was eliminated last week as part of a way to balance the state's budget. But one university in Mid-Michigan is making it easier for students.
One of the scholarships being affected is the Michigan Promise, an incentive program to enroll in college.
The funding to keep the program on campus was cut last week when lawmakers and the governor couldn't find a way to keep their promise, but Saginaw Valley State University is keeping theirs.
SVSU has decided to open up its pocketbook and cover the cost of one Promise Scholarship semester. Sophomore Brett Stacer is breathing a sigh of relief -- for now.SVSU is expected to receive federal stimulus dollars. All of that money will go to students to pay back the Promise Scholarship funds.
The governor is hopeful lawmakers can find a way to restore the scholarship before next semester.
