Why do students not have enough money for food? Some do not budget enough in their loans. If they fill out the FAFSA form the government guarantees student loans. These loans can be used to pay for living expenses and tuition. In your budget include money for paying for meal plans or buying food at groceries.
$100 per week is a large budget for some people, and small budget to others. This gives you the calm attitude that comes with knowing that you can eat, and have energy to study. If you borrow at least $1000 per semester for food (meal plans are more), and attend 4 years (8 semesters without summers) then that adds only $8000 to your college debt when you graduate. Take a larger amount than $2000 the first year, to understand how much you need. If you have extra monies, it can be used the second year.
15 weeks per semester - $1000 is about $65 per week or larger budget, $100 per week x 15= $1500 (meal plans often are more)
When you graduate, $8000 is a loan payment of about $85 per month at low interest 5.25 % loans payable over 10 years. That's $20 per week of your future salary to pay for your food today. Besides housing and transportation expenses, make sure to budget monies for food. If you borrow more, than perhaps you'll pay $30 per week of your salary towards the food part of your loan.
These maps show locations of groceries and food pantries. Local churches and synagogues also offer food.

State legislators to visit MCC, Asnuntuck to promote debt-free college program | Connecticut & Region
The co-chairmen of the legislature’s Higher Education Committee kicked off a tour of the state’s community colleges this week to promote a newly created program that would cover a student’s first three years of community college tuition and fees that are not covered by federal financial aid.

Gregg Haddad, D-Mansfield, and Sen. Will Haskell, D-Westport, co-chairmen of the Higher Education Committee, will host a series of discussions about […]
Fair Pay to Play Act: California lets college athletes earn money
California is shaking up the big business of college sports. Earlier this week, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed a bill that would let college athletes make money from endorsement deals for the first time. Right now, they’re the only ones involved in the $14 billion industry who aren’t cashing in. The new law, which doesn’t go into effect until 2023, is meant to pressure the National Collegiate Athletic Association to change its rules before then. The NCAA is still clinging to its long-held view that college athletes should spend their time earning a degree for playing sports, not making money. But […]
As economy has improved, tech college enrollment has dropped markedly
Enrollment at Wisconsin’s technical colleges has declined by 20% since the Great Recession, but the head of the state’s 16 two-year campuses isn’t surprised and says it’s a reflection of the state’s economic recovery. Between 2010 and 2017, enrollment at Wisconsin Technical College System campuses declined by 79,158 students. The declines were gradual, averaging between 1% and 5% in any given school year. While the trend seems stark, Wisconsin Technical College System President Morna Foy said the declines weren’t unexpected. “That’s a pretty standard trend, if you will, for technical college enrollments,” Foy said. “When the economy is not doing […]
