The Senate Finance Committee voted 13-1 Tuesday to restore 90 percent of current funding of the TEXAS Grants program, the main financial aid program at state universities and colleges.
Senate GOP leaders' initial budget, like the House's, would have cut funding of TEXAS Grants by 41 percent. At that reduced level, 60,000 fewer students would receive financial help in 2013. This year, nearly 87,000 students receive a TEXAS Grant.
