Kennedy Introduces Legislation That Would Alter Federal Financial Aid
The Legal Career Resources column is presented by LawCrossing, America's leading legal job search site dedicated to getting jobs for legal professionals.
On April 3 Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) introduced legislation that would make sweeping changes to federal financial aid. The bill, given the short name ''Strengthening Student Aid for All Act,'' is intended to ensure students have sufficient access to financial aid, in the forms of both grants and loans.
Thanks to Law School Loans, I was able to lock in at a low-interest rate and I also was able reduce it through their payment incentives, something that I was told by my current lender was impossible. The reduction in my interest rate saved me $28,655 in unnecessary interest. Thanks Law School Loans. - Jennifer J. Barstow, CA
