The First Lady, Philippa Karsera Christodoulides, has resigned. She was the head of a support group. This group helps students with money. Now, about 1,800 student applications for help are stopped. This is important financial aid for students.
The support group helps students go to university. It started in 2015. The First Lady's decision makes things difficult. The group's leaders are worried. They asked her to change her mind. They also want to find ways to keep working.
Decisions for 1,800 student applications are waiting. New rules will be used for this. These rules are about handling money. They will make things more open.
The group says its work is good. They send scholarships safely. An audit found no problems. The group follows good rules.
The First Lady's leaving stops the student help review. This could harm students' plans. The group is working with the government. They want to keep helping students. They will also follow new money rules.
