Miami Herald: More college students using food stamps

In a down economy, some Florida college students have found a new form of financial aid: food stamps.

The number of Sunshine State students receiving stamps was up 44 percent in July compared to the same time in 2007.

That’s about twice the rate of increase for food-stamp recipients in the population as a whole.
