Vt senators fight to keep college costs in check (WCAX)
TweetFebruary 2, 2012
WASHINGTON – Vermont’s two senators are fighting to keep the cost of going to college from soaring even higher.
Many students already face huge financial hurdles to attend college, many graduating with crippling debt. And now the interest rate on federal Stafford education loans is about to double.
A 2007 law that slashed the rate from 6.8 percent to 3.4 percent will expire this summer unless Congress acts.
