To Expand Reach
Of College Aid
By Sean Cavanagh
Washington
"Every year, the federal government pours billions of dollars into programs designed to help students and families pay for college, offering a multitude of grant, loan, and work-study options, some spiced with federal subsidies aimed at making it cheaper to borrow money and easier to pay off debt.
Yet as the number of teenagers heading to higher education surges and the costs of helping them climbs, members of Congress are trying to offset that fiscal burden by targeting portions of the student-aid puzzle for cuts."
(...who would be affected by these cuts? who would benefit from the re-direction of this funding?...jim)
