Kennedy college aid bill labeled priority by lawmakers
Congressional leaders gave priority status to President Kennedy’s 2.7 billion college aid bill with good odds for passage. The plan would fund 1.5 billion over five years for classrooms and libraries, with the Senate favoring low interest loans and the House offering loans and grants. Scholarships differ: 212,000 four-year scholarships under the Senate bill versus 200,000 two-year scholarships under the House plan.
