Berkeley creates scholarship

While some students might enjoy getting high, those who get caught will not enjoy getting federal financial aid.

In 1998, Congress passed an amendment to the Higher Education Act making students ineligible for federal financial aid if they have drug convictions. In response, one school has created a special scholarship for students who cannot receive Free Application for Federal Student Aid because of drug convictions.

The University of California, Berkeley student government passed a bill to create a $400 scholarship for students denied FAFSA aid. Berkeley is the first school to create a student government funded scholarship for this purpose.
