Lower Federal student loan interest rates to make education affordable for all

We are calling upon Congress and the Department of Education to reduce federal student loan interest rates to make it more accessible for all. With high interest rates, education is not possible for all, delays homeownership, and it also brings the economy to a hard stop, and does not allow it to grow. Lowering interest rates is a simple and very big step to financial freedom, and it would also provide relief to students and graduates nationwide.

Why is this important?

High student loan interest rates contribute to delayed homeownership, reduce GDP growth, increase financial stress, and widen inequality in access to higher education. Many students want higher education for better opportunities and access to high-paying jobs, but the burden of taking out loans makes this not possible for all.
