Tackling the cost of higher education



Hillary  introduced additional plans to enhance her New College Compact aimed at tackling the cost of higher education. You can dive into the details below, but here’s the gist:
  • Hillary will take executive action to offer all federal loan borrowers a three-month moratorium on their student loan payments so they can consolidate their loans, enroll in income-based repayment, save money on loan payments and fees, and get help in dealing with their loan servicers.
  • Refinancing student loans at current rates would help 25 million borrowers across the country, with the typical borrower saving $2,000 over the life of the loan -- and Hillary will make sure nobody has to pay more than 10 percent of their monthly income.
  • By 2021, Hillary wants to ensure that families with income up to $125,000 pay no tuition at in-state public colleges and universities.
  • Under Hillary's plan, students with family incomes of $85,000 or lower will be able to attend an in-state public college totally tuition-free starting immediately.
