...resources are just so limited,” Li says. “This year, we’re at 950 projects funded up to this week. We just can’t afford to fund these long trips that are extensive.

...standard form that many college- and university-bound students fill out to apply for federal financial aid and tuition assistance, including Pell Grants.

The same city where sweatshops thrive in Chinatown, immigrant Mexican help has been grossly underpaid by immigrant Korean deli owners, and immigrant African deliverymen had been getting $1.25 per hour at unionized Manhattan supermarkets (relying on tips) until authorities finally stepped...
