And taxes on scholarships? Seems the #FascistGrooveThing wants to #SilenceDissent by providing barriers against an #EducatedVoter!

House Republicans mull taxes on scholarships and changes to student loan programs

"As Republicans in Congress look for ways to slash spending, some legislators are floating new taxes on college #scholarships, an end to #StudentLoan #repayment plans and a big hike in taxes on university endowments.

"The ideas affecting #HigherEducation are among many in circulation among House committees that are exploring ways to cover the cost of extending and expanding tax cuts passed in President Donald Trump’s first term.

"The recommendations are still evolving, and it’s unclear how close any of them will get to being implemented. Regardless, advocates across higher education say they are alarmed to see such proposals gain traction at all with Republicans.

"'It’s shocking to me because this amount of cuts is not happening in reaction to like a budget crisis, like a #recession. This really feels different in the sense that it is not something that there is an external push or a need for. So, it feels more #ideological in a way,' said Jessica Thompson, a higher education policy expert with The Institute for College Access and Success.

"Here is a look at possible federal budget cuts that would affect higher education under the Trump administration:

"Cutting programs that help students pay off college debt

"The U.S. House Committee on Education and the Workforce has suggested several possible ways to overhaul student loan programs. Some would reduce student access to federal aid for college.

"On the chopping block potentially are several plans students can opt into to repay their students loans, including the #SAVEPlan introduced by the Biden administration. That plan doesn’t require borrowers to make payments if they earn less than 225% of the federal poverty line — $32,800 a year for a single person — and prevents interest from adding to balances as long as borrowers make their monthly payments. The SAVE plan was already put on hold after Republicans challenged it. Some plans do not appear to be targeted, including one that caps loan payments based on borrowers’ income level.

[...]

"An end to tax-free status for scholarships

"Scholarships and fellowships have been exempt from taxes as long as they are used for tuition and related expenses. That would change under another proposal that’s up for consideration.

"The changes could create new financial burdens for students and families, advocates say.

"'There’s been great progress in bringing down the costs of higher education. Adjusted for inflation, public university tuition is less now than it was ten years ago,' said Craig Lindwarm, senior vice president of governmental affairs with the Association of Public and Land-Grant Universities. 'But as we look at some of the proposals that are options, many would increase costs on students and families, and I think (the proposals) are heading in the direction that most don’t want to see, which is increasing expenses on students and families.'

Courts grant injunctions against Biden’s student loan repayment plan

The future of President Biden’s new #student #loan #repayment plan is in doubt after a pair of federal judges issued separate injunctions Monday💥 preventing the government from fully implementing and forgiving any more loans through the program while they consider lawsuits to end the policy.💥
 The dual rulings leave myriad questions about whether borrowers can still enroll in the plan or receive promised loan cancellation.

Millions of Americans could be affected.
 In Kansas, U.S. District Judge Daniel D. Crabtree blocked the Biden administration from launching the final component of the Saving on a Valuable Education program,
commonly known as #Save.

Borrowers with undergraduate debt were set to see their payments cut in half this July
— from 10 percent to 5 percent of income above 225 percent of the federal poverty line.

Borrowers who also have graduate loans would have had their payments lowered by the weighted average between 5 percent and 10 percent.
 That feature of the plan, which launched in October, will be shelved while a lawsuit is litigated.
