July 2009 sees the proposal of a bill that aims to increase the amount of money that low-income students will receive through the Pell Grant award. This grant federal education has long been a help to students who are considered low income but if it rises, it could help more people.
No more subsidies
In line with its commitment to transparency, Obama said he wants to "put an end to wasteful subsidies that are given to banks and private lenders for student loans. This saves taxpayers money and provide the source of funding for Pell expansion.
This bill will make college more affordable for single mothers and mothers who are on a low income. All other low-income students also receive course.
It is anticipated that this bill will not have a completely smooth path through Congress, but Obama is confident he has the necessary support. More and more politicians are the benefits of moving away from private grants, relying instead on the relationship between Pell Grants to inflation.
Education Secretary Arne Duncan said they want to help more students access to more education aid Rather than continue on the path to subsidize banks, which was the case for so long.
This is one promise Obama campaign is on track become a reality.
