Congressman Smith Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Help Working StudentsOzark Radio News

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Congressman Jason Smith and Congressman Danny K. Davis (D-IL) have introduced two bipartisan bills that will empower working students to pursue higher education while still participating in the workforce and earning money. These two pieces of legislation will reduce the reliance on student loans and reward those who work while learning by allowing employers to offer tax-free education assistance. The first bill, the Upward Mobility Enhancement Act, was introduced by Rep. Jason Smith and will permanently increase the employer provided education assistance from $5,250 to $12,000, index the amount to inflation, and expand the eligible education-related tools and technology covered by the tax exclusion.

It s time to do away with the GRE (opinion)

Now, as the director of the University of Maryland, Baltimore County, McNair Scholars Program, a graduate school pipeline program, I come across students who struggle with preparing for and taking the GRE. Their challenges are often due to anxiety around test taking, stereotype threats, not having financial support for the test and prep materials, and not seeing how the test connects to their potential success in graduate school. I have had students who had to work multiple jobs and thus had a difficult time studying for the test. Yet they were exceptional students in their undergraduate programs, only to be told their GRE scores won t cut it for admission into their desired graduate program.
