[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The newest appropriations bill (https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-appropriations.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/fy26-financial-services-and-general-government-subcommittee-mark.pdf) has it cut to 20million from 40 million as it has been since 2016.

This is also true.[/quote]

Yup, both true. The upshot, I assume, is that the HHI cap on eligibility will come down significantly.[/quote]

Well, I mean, I'm not against that.[/quote]

DC spends a tiny fraction of what other states do on higher education. In other states there is no HHI cap on getting in-state tuition. There is nothing unfair about DC TAG or a similar DC funded program going to UMC/MC families. I understand that federal money pays for this now, but in other states, federal money goes to universities which in turn offer in state tuition.

The likely end of DC TAG is another factor in me leaving DC for MD or VA. So congrats I guess. [/quote]
