Clinton’s
education
plans help
save bucks
CHICAGO — Declaring a college
education “more important than it’s
ever been,” President Clinton un
veiled two measures in mid-August
intended to make higher education
more affordable by easing loan re
payment costs and by forgiving
loans to college graduates who
teach in lower income communi
ties.
Among the United States’ unmet
needs, Clinton said in a speech at
DePaul University, “helping people
go to college is No. 1.”
“We have to provide all Ameri
cans access to opportunity, and that
means access to college,” he said.
The nation should set a goal, he
said, of making sure that no one
“stays out of higher education, or
drops out of higher education, be
cause of the cost.”
The program to provide teachers
for lower-income areas — which
face severe problems recruiting and
retaining teachers, particularly
those who have studied in college
the subjects they are teaching —
implements legislation passed two
years ago.
It would forgive up to $5,000 in
student loans for those who teach
in needy schools for five consecu
tive years. At least one of the years
in the classroom must have begun
after September 1998. The U.S. De
partment of Education estimates
that, through the year 2003, 25,000
teachers would be forgiven loans
totaling $122 million. The program
would take effect next July 1.
“They’ll be paying it back by
teaching our kids,” Clinton said.
Under the second program, stu
dents and parents who hold direct
student loans are being granted an
immediate rebate on their interest
equal to 1.5 percent of the loan, a
payment that would affect more
than 1.7 million students beginning
in the coming academic year, the
administration estimated.
To retain the benefit, the students
and parents must make the first 12
payments on time. The estimated
savings on a $10,000 loan would be
$150.
The program would also lower
by 0.8 percent the interest rate for
students who consolidate their
loans in the direct student loan pro
gram, saving them an estimated
$500 on $10,000 in loans.
Some 400,000 students are ex
pected to take advantage of this, be
ginning with the fiscal year that
starts Oct. 1.
.Clinton said the direct student
loan program, a centerpiece in the
administration’s effort to help stu
dents consolidate loans, had seen
default rates on student loans drop
from 22 percent when he took of
fice to 9 percent now.
