The New America Foundation invites you to join us Tuesday, March 31 at 9:30a.m. for "The Future of Federal Student Loans" This event will feature representatives from the Obama administration, the student loan community, and New America's Education Policy Program to discuss the pros and cons of the President's proposal to stop guaranteeing federal student loans and to instead make the loans directly.
On Feb. 26, the Obama Administration laid out a bold plan to expand financial aid, paid for in part by ending the Federal Family Education Loan (FFEL) program and instead contracting with companies to service loans. This proposal is controversial in the lending community, the higher education community, and on Capitol Hill. Please join us and our panel of distinguished guests for a frank and well-rounded discussion.
