The following is a brief of the story. For the full version, see the Wednesday, Feb. 25 print edition of the BDN.
Central Methodist University has joined more than 4,000 students, parents, educational leaders and concerned citizens from across the state who have come together to form the Keep Me In College Coalition to protect the highly successful need-based Access Missouri financial aid program against legislative efforts to cut funding for students attending Missouris independent colleges and universities.
“It is vitally important to our students and to the independent sector of higher education to preserve this important program,” said Marianne E. Inman, president of Central Methodist University in Fayette. “This is a highly successful program that has enabled college attendance for many students who might otherwise not have been able to pursue their dream,” Inman added and noted that more than 550 CMU students are currently receiving Access Missouri resources.
“Access Missouri is helping me to achieve my dream of being a high school biology teacher and coach here in Missouri,” said Garrett Cook, a junior majoring in biology and education at Central Methodist University. A native of Fredericktown, Cook is president of the Student Government Association and plays for CMUs football team.
