Financial Aid in the News

Editorial: Bush Should Approve Higher-Ed Law (The Dallas Morning News)

"The higher-education law Congress passed last week won't resolve all those problems, but it should ease some of the pressures," The Dallas Morning News reports. "For that reason, President Bush should sign the measure. What's particularly appealing about the plan, which took an annoyingly long five years to craft, is that yearly Pell Grants will increase up to $9,000 per qualifying student. The federal dollars often are used with other programs, like the TEXAS Grant, to finance an education. Given the nation's need for more college graduates, this is an investment in our economy."
