Tuition credits may survive as law after conference cut
Tax credits for college tuition remain possible this year after a conference committee dropped the demand that benefits go to private school pupils. The compromise limits the aid to college students and post secondary vocational students, with credits set at 35 percent of tuition costs up to $250 by 1980, and cost estimates at about $1 billion annually. President Carter voiced concerns about the plan but did not indicate an outright veto, while Sen. Russell Long suggested the president might sign if costs stay down.
