Thursday morning July 12, 2007, the United States House of Representatives will vote on HR 2669, the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007.



Among other things, this legislation will cut interest rates on subsidized student loans in half over the next five years, limit the percentage of income students spend repaying loans, and expand both the eligibility and size of the Pell Grant program. These reforms make the College Cost Reduction Act of 2007 the single largest investment in higher education since the GI bill.
