...drastically upping aid for those with incomes up to $180,000. Harvard meets 100 percent of each undergraduate’s calculated need, which is determined after subtracting a family’s expected contribution and outside assistance (such as merit scholarships or Pell Grants) from the total cost of attendance. For the 2007-2008 school year, Harvard’s cost of attendance was $48,550. The Pell Grant is no longer as significant a source of funding for low-income students as it has been in the past. College tuition increases have outstripped inflation and funding for Pell...
While 2008 has been the year of the small donor—Democratic frontrunner Barack Obama has financially swamped Hillary Clinton largely due to the fact that he can return to his army of donors who give gifts of under $50—the cost of processing such micro-donations is often prohibitive for smaller-scale campaigns, given the high processing fees for credit card payments...
Food Stamps: Total funding for the program could increase by $8 billion over 10 years. The formula for determining per-family benefits would be tied directly to the consumer price index, meaning, essentially, that benefits would rise in step with the cost of living - a standard that has surpassed food-stamp payouts since 1996. The minimum monthly benefit of $10 per month, which hasn't been increased since 1997, would also climb and keep pace with inflation...
...It’s hard to give someone that much space and then come back, but come back they did and almost charged through them a couple of times.” “While Princeton was a strong crew, we made a series of mistakes that cost us the race,” he added. Yet, the race of the day came in the third varsity four. Often times this boat is forced to race against heavyweights for lack of depth in other programs. Princeton, however, fielded an impressive boat that fell to Radcliffe by seven seconds...
...come up with innovative solutions: For example, the team decided that instead of using a bell housing (which contains the car's clutch) made of expensive magnesium, students designed and built a lightweight substitute made of cheap, sturdy iron. Hayashi won't disclose the car's total development costs, but he says it will cost some $785,000 just to compete at Le Mans. Funds have come from Tokai University, sponsors, and from Hayashi's own pocket. Additional cash is trickling in from a donation drive backed by the governor of Japan's Kanagawa prefecture, and Nissan CEO Carlos Ghosn...
