This article describes the big winners and little winners in the stimulus package. The big winners:

1.     Low-income students are going to get extra help with an increased Pell grant

2.     "Pipeline programs" like Head Start are getting increased funding, "a move that may help millions of future college students"

3.     States are getting big-time "budget stabilization" funds that will likely filter down to public universities

4.     A big chunk of money is going to job training programs, some of this will likely be directed to community colleges

5.     NIH is getting $8.5M and NSF is getting $3B (yes, that's a "B"), which means more money for innovative research
