Congresswoman Donna F. Edwards Announces New Program to Make College More Affordable
Beginning today, new benefits will take effect that will make federal student loans more affordable to repay by allowing borrowers to cap their monthly loan payments at a reasonable percentage of their income. Certain eligible low- and moderate-income students taking out new federal student loans will also see lower interest rates and higher Pell Grant scholarships.
“An affordable college education is essential if our children are to be successful in a 21st Century economy,” said Rep. Edwards. “This new program gives our students the help they need to get a quality college education, and is a worthwhile investment in the future success of our students and this country. I urge our young people to take advantage of this remarkable opportunity.”
