New StudentAdvisor.com app discussed on Fox News.

WOBURN, MA (March 25, 2013) — Fox News Boston reported this week that low income students may be avoiding top colleges unnecessarily because they don’t know about all the funding options and tools, including new student apps for scholarships like the one available from StudentAdvisor.com.

The news comes days after a report was released from the Center On Budget and Policy Priorities estimating how much each of the 50 states has slashed per-student funding for its university systems since the start of the recession, adjusted for inflation. In Arizona, where the cuts were the deepest, funding has been hacked in half. Nationwide, legislatures have sliced off 28 percent on average. Only two states — Wyoming and oil-rich North Dakota — have increased it, by the think tank’s calculations.
