This was a very good way to help students attending CUNY get a little money above and beyond the Pell Grant and TAP. It really helped a lot of kids out. That Quinn cut it in an act of revenge on Peter Vallone Jr. was an unforgivable act - how many kids did she harm by doing this? And to what end?<br /><br />In any case, I'm glad it's back. It's not as much as it once was, but $800 will surely help families.reality-based educatorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01712885202661371924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1628172601886929098.post-48736021301113566992014-07-09T00:05:39.159-04:002014-07-09T00:05:39.159-04:00My daughter and a niece as well as many of their f...My daughter and a niece as well as many of their friend saw this scholarship fade away to nothing. Many relied on it to help with books or transportation, even food. My younger daughter now a junior and a B+/A- student of course received nothing. it would be nice to compensate the kids in CUNY since this scholarship was taken away. many would be so appreciative of the extra help. What was done with that money? Hopefully it was invested or was it squandered?Pathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093696947161342140noreply@blogger.com
