The delay is so federal education department officials can review their plans. The checks will be sent following review and approval.
The spending of these checks is not supposed to be on whatever students want, but basic needs they need covered while in school.
While $6,300 seems like a lot, the Meharry Medical School in Nashville plans to send payments worth $10,000 to its 900 enrolled students.
