New: @MSTODAYnews put together these data visualizations to explain how the proposed One Grant financial aid program will affect students in Mississippi First up: this chart shows how low-income students will lose aid, while wealthier students will see their awards go up 🧵
Because the One Grant will substantially cut aid for the poorest students in Mississippi, it also means Black and minority students will be getting much less. White students, on the other hand, will see their average aid slightly increase.
@mintamolly @MSTODAYnews You are awesome. I’m glad I followed you. One question. How do we find out who the people are on the board that created the racially biased One Grant initiative.
@mintamolly @MSTODAYnews Why give money to students that can afford tuition?
