EDU — Education

To discuss the impact One Big Beautiful Bill has on higher education finance and the increased need students will have to borrow education loans from the private sector. Request support for the State Based Education Loan Awareness Act that would allow institutions of higher education to inform students of nonprofit and state-based education loans without triggering onerous preffered lender list rules if the nonprofit/state-based organization offers loans with fees and interest rates equal to or less than the federal PLUS program.

Every candidate, committee, bill, vote, member, and nonprofit on this site is mirrored from primary U.S. government sources (FEC, congress.gov, govinfo.gov, IRS) and each state's Secretary of State / election commission — no third-party data vendors, no paywall, no editorial intermediation. Citations to the originating source are on every detail page.

Estimated value: $180/mo per user — but we made it free.
