The College Cost Reduction Act, also known as Bill 118 hr 6951, is a piece of legislation introduced in the United States Congress aimed at reducing the financial burden of higher education for students and their families. The bill includes several key provisions to make college more affordable. One of the main components of the College Cost Reduction Act is an increase in the maximum Pell Grant award, which provides need-based financial aid to low-income students. The bill also includes provisions to lower interest rates on federal student loans, making it easier for students to repay their loans after graduation. Additionally, the College Cost Reduction Act includes measures to incentivize public service by offering loan forgiveness for individuals who work in certain fields, such as teaching or nursing. This is aimed at encouraging students to pursue careers that benefit society, even if they may not be as financially lucrative. Overall, the College Cost Reduction Act seeks to make higher education more accessible and affordable for all students, regardless of their financial background. By reducing the financial burden of college, the bill aims to ensure that all individuals have the opportunity to pursue their educational goals and contribute to society in meaningful ways.
