On Monday, NASFAA sent a letter to the cosponsors of the REAL Reforms Act to offer feedback on the bill, share NASFAA’s recent loan reform efforts, and call for collaboration on drafting legislation for student loan reform to benefit both students and taxpayers. The letter notes areas of the bill that have promise, such as eliminating interest capitalization and capping the amount borrowers must repay under income-driven repayment plans, as well as where the bill falls short, including eliminating the Grad PLUS and Public Service Loan Forgiveness programs. "The coming months present an opportunity for collaboration to draft the best possible legislation for when the time is right for introduction,” the letter reads. “We look forward to working with you to fine-tune this proposal into the student loan reform that borrowers and taxpayers need."
