House Republicans have introduced a major proposal to overhaul the federal student loan system and Pell Grant eligibility.
The plan would eliminate most income-driven repayment options and impose stricter rules on who can receive Pell Grants, aiming to reduce government spending on education. Supporters argue the changes will promote fiscal responsibility and curb excessive borrowing, while critics warn millions of borrowers could lose access to affordable repayment plans and crucial financial aid. The proposal is part of a broader conservative push to limit the federal government's role in higher education financing.
If enacted, these changes could significantly impact the financial future of up to 40 million student loan borrowers.
