Tuition Advance Plan Shifts College Bills To Students
Patricia McCormack reports a proposed UPI plan where students repay college costs after freshman year through the IRS based 2 percent of earnings until loans are paid. Initiated by Dr. John R. Silber and Rep. Michael Harrington, H.R. 12668 would fund tuition and up to 1,000 in related expenses with a 4 billion start and 20-year buildup. The plan aims for self-sufficiency, tying debt repayment to degree earnings while excluding first-year entrants to maintain financial viability.
