I don't think TAP is being cut. It is just being restructured: you get 2/3
of your award up front (the base) and 1/3 when (if) you graduate. The 1/3
you borrow from Federal funds which TAP pays back in full, including
interest. If for some reason you cannot secure a Fed loan, a State loan is
issued. See my website (don't tell anyone about it yet it's not fully
prepared) www.hunterpolemic.com and scroll down for primary budget documents
for more on this.
