Congress has passed the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, which proposes loan forgiveness for students entering public service jobs, funding for Upward Bound programs, and new investments in minority-serving institutions, among other provisions. The act is being touted as the largest investment in higher education since the GI Bill.
The bill is now before President George W. Bush. Check back for any updates.
Thanks to Campus Compact for all that you have done over the years to nurture the campus service and service-learning movement. When we started at St. A's 15 years ago there was a feeling among some campuses that we were seeing higher education's latest 'flash in the pan.' Instead it was the beginning of a revolution of ideas and relationships, and you guys have been fueling us all the way.
