For students teetering on the edge financially, micro-grants help them finish college
“Every semester, thousands of students drop out of college because they are a few hundred dollars short of being able to pay their bills. Many are only a few credits shy of graduation. Most are already working one or more jobs to keep up with their college costs. At many colleges, students cannot register for the next semester if they owe money – and not just for tuition, but for lab fees, parking or library fines and room and board expenses.”
