Good, bad news for students
Fort Worth Star-Telegram - Column
July 13, 2008
The credit crunch was supposed to put the big squeeze on college loans, and for some students, a real threat still exists. But for many, the federal money is flowing just fine, with more dollars available than a year ago and at better terms. That is a comforting development as many students scramble to get their finances in place for the start of school next month. But this is a good news-bad news story, and it makes college funding even more confusing than usual.
