Hey news readers,

If you’re reading this, I’m already gone. I’ve been cast into the wind, only to return at the coming of a new day on the University campus. Do not mourn me, all I ask is, in my wake, to do good. And read today’s news. For the last week of our summer semester, we examined the financial struggle some students are facing due to aid changes, the closure of the St. Paul Pig’s Eye encampment and the hullabaloo behind “Spider-Man: A Brand New Day.” Consider this our swan song. Check it out below.

As students prepare for another academic year, some are receiving financial aid packets with thousands of dollars less than they had before. 

Shalyn Feahn, a rising third-year student at the University of Minnesota, said financial aid has made attending the University possible for the past three years. Her tuition has previously been fully covered through grants such as the Pell Grant, Minnesota State Grant and North Star Promise. 

She said when she checked her financial aid for the upcoming academic year, she noticed a major difference. 

“I got less, I noticed it was down by a couple thousand,” she said.
