For new college students, the summer before school starts can be a stressful, hectic few months. You’re preparing for your first year of post-secondary school, you’re worried about your dorm, living in a new place, and on top of that, you need to line up financial aid and scholarship money.  But we’re hearing from more and more students who are having a harder time receiving financial aid in these tough times than ever before — and we’re even hearing that state budgets are even going so far as to cut financial aid programs for students, even the ones who need it the most.
