For years the feds failed to fulfill their promise of canceling debt for borrowers working in public service. We're glad to see this change, and look forward to a day where no one is forced to take on a lifetime of debt in the first place.

[Secretary Miguel Cardona @SecCardona]

Years of administrative failures effectively denied the promise of loan forgiveness to certain borrowers enrolled in IDR plans. Today we move to remedy these failures by bringing changes to the income-driven repayment & public service loan forgiveness programs. Learn more here:

BREAKING: my bill to boost FAFSA completion (financial aid forms, how Wash. students get $) just passed Wash. House Appropriations UNANIMOUSLY.

Wash. is always #49 of 50 states in FAFSA completion rates (!!), so families don’t get all the $ they could. That’s about to change!!

[WA Student Association (WSA) @WAstudents]

Just a few examples of some incredible student testimonies shared this week in support of HB 1659, HB 1736, and HB 1835!!

We’re nearing the end of a long day in House Appropriations, featuring a GREAT bill by Chair @SlatterVandana to expand the Wash. College Grant to more students/add $1K “Bridge Grants” to help with food, bus, etc.

The MOST compelling testimony from students re how this helps…
