The Wall Street Journal is a journalistic institution. First published in 1889, the same year as Elon's founding, it is one of the nation's most widely-read and well-respected journalistic institutions.

A proposed budget cut recently released by U.S. House Republicans will restrict eligibility for Pell Grants, a form of financial aid that provides need-based grants to undergraduate students. Under the plan, the required maximum family income to qualify will be cut in half to $15,000.
