[quote=Anonymous]I am the director of grants for a community college in Maryland. We currently have over $11 million in federal grant funded programs that provide a variety of student services, workforce development programs, employment training, and equipment. Think nursing, allied health, academic support services- the whole shebang. I know we have approximately $1 million in pending reimbursement awaiting federal approval for drawdown - for salaries, construction, etc. Given the current financial position of the college we can front these for less than 2 months before it would cause significant disruption in services and payroll. At least 10 faculty and staff are 100% grant funded from federal grants. Our students are overwhelmingly low-income, from blue collar part of the state. 73% receive financial aid; 39% minority; 80% first gen. All in a county that overwhelmingly voted GOP this election.
