Federal investments in student aid enable millions of Americans to attend college each year and are critical to the long-term future of the nation. With additional federal student aid, students will know they can pursue their higher education goals even in uncertain times.

 

Contact Congress NOW to Oppose an Over $1 Billion Cut to Student Aid Programs

House Republicans released their fiscal year (FY) 2025 Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies bill that funds the student aid programs. Both Federal Work-Study and the Federal Supplemental Educational Opportunity Grant programs are cut in half. This cut of over $1 billion dollars would harm more than 2 million low-income students should this bill be signed into law.

It’s critical Congress hear your opposition to these cuts that would increase student debt and make it more difficult for low-income students to attend and succeed in college.

Please contact your representative and senators today to advocate for increased funding in the student aid programs.
