Cool Article. My only change might be to putting the current legislation and current development pieces closer to the top of the article, like right after the portion that defines what the MFP is and have the history and specific details about how the program works following. That way, people can know why they are reading this article / why they should care.

Your writing is very spot on - your grammar and organization is phenomenal. As far as suggestions go I would move your second introductory paragraph, more particularly the information about the 2010-2011 MFP formula, into your section titled Per Student Spending. Also, with this particular topic there are several large dollar amounts and numbers that coincide with various dates - perhaps a simple table added into the page with the year, the MFP formula for that year, and the total money allocated/spent would help make the information a little more user-friendly.

Also, I am not sure if any discussion of the MFP has occurred in the current Extraordinary Special Session on the budget, but, it might be nice to have a recent developments section that would track what is currently happening to the program with so many budget cuts being tossed around.

Your topic is very interesting and you've truly done a great job researching!
