http://www.easternecho.com As the semester kicks off there is one thing we can all relate to: the stress that comes from paying for the classes we just started taking. I know when my tuition bill was e-mailed to me this summer, my heart skipped a beat, and not in a good way. en-us Gryphon 2.3.1-dsw (pewabic)/Foundry5 Wed, 07 Oct 2009 13:00:37 -0400 webmaster@easternecho.com http://www.easternecho.com/index.php/comment/view/50 I know how you feel.

My son is going to school on scholarships/grants/loans because, as a single parent, I am working as hard as I can to keep a roof over our heads. In the last two months, his Michigan Competitive Scholarship and Promise Scholarship are up-in-the-air (probably GONE!) and my salary was reduced by 20%! What now, Michigan? What do we do now?
