WASHINGTON A number of state universities and community colleges across the Capitol Region hope that the Biden administration will make colleges more affordable to lower-income students and minority groups as well as provide relief for those paying off student loans.
President Joe Biden campaigned on a plan that included making public universities and colleges free for students with families earning under $125,000 a year, doubling Pell grants for those with financial need and forgiving student debt. On his first day in office, Biden signed an executive order extending the pause on federal student loan repayments due to the ongoing pandemic.
