Quote to note.
Spellings, Margaret
"Math, science, and foreign language skills are the new
currency in our global economy. These new grant programs will not only
enable more students to attend college but also provide strategic
alignment with our national goal to better prepare our students for
today's world. Justin Blahnik, a computer science student and SMART
grant qualifier I met last week in St. Paul, put it best when he said
these grants would enable students 'to borrow less, work less, and
study more.'"
--Secretary of Education Margaret Spellings (6/29/06), declaring
the availability of new grants for college students
