Calling on Congress to find additional supplementary aid for graduates who are expecting to lose their subsidized loans.

Beginning on July 1, 2012 students at the graduate level will be unable to receive subsidized loans. This would cause a new generation of higher-skilled professionals to be unable to meet the costs should they try to apply for loans in the private sector. We are proposing Congress find alternatives to meeting that costs which would either involve a public-private initiative, increased or extended tax credits, or allow the use of Pell Grants at the graduate level.
