Thousands Sign Online Petition in Support of Student Loan Program Choice

Thousands of students, parents, financial aid professionals and other concerned citizens have signed an online petition urging that the U.S. Congress preserve a choice of student loan options. Hosted by the Consumer Bankers Association, the petition urges Congress “not to accept the Administration’s Budget proposal to eliminate the Federal Family Education Loan Program and to work on a bipartisan basis to preserve a stronger private sector-based federal student loan program."
