The new tax benefit should be permanent and targeted to lower and modest income students and families. Provide financial assistance to students who demonstrate financial need and are academically prepared to succeed. Encourage simplicity and predictability in student financial aid programs. Increase access to higher education, including pre-college advising and outreach. Encourage credential persistence & completion for all students. Support college savings, financial literacy and minimize student indebtedness. Reduce administrative requirements and support accountability. Empower student financial aid professionals with the flexibility to respond to the specific needs of their students. Recommend policies that accommodate the diversity of academic delivery models. Eliminate statutory requirements that use financial aid to enforce unrelated social policies. Validate proposed policy recommendations with research and data analysis. One Federal Grant Program: Consolidate federal higher education grants into one Super Pell program. Align continued grant eligibility with student progress to degree. Permit students to use the grant during any academic term. One Federal Loan Program: Streamline federal student loan programs into a single, income-based repayment program. Implement increased borrower limits: one limit for undergraduate students and one limit for graduate students. Loan repayment should be tied to income. Limit the amount a student may borrow based upon enrollment. Permanently stabilize the program interest rate at 3% plus a markup equal to the interest rate on the 10-year United States Treasury note. Simplify the Aid Determination Process. Simplify the financial aid application (FAFSA) and reduce the required data fields. Require federal agencies to leverage data that resides in other federal databases. Allow students to submit the FAFSA form earlier. Use prior-prior year income data for financial aid determination. Inform students of financial aid eligibility earlier. TAX BENEFITS FOR STUDENTS AND FAMILIES Federal tax benefits designed to impact college affordability, access, and completion are well-intentioned but flawed. Tax-based student aid: is poorly targeted; does not reach students when they need it most; is complex and difficult to use; and is poorly understood and limits the impact of its intent. UNC SYSTEM POLICY PRIORITY Consolidate the fourteen higher education tax benefit programs into one tax benefit program. The new tax benefit should be permanent and targeted to lower and modest income students and families. | Bureau of Citizenship & Immigration Services (BCIS),Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC),Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS),Education, Dept of,Health & Human Services, Dept of (HHS),HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,Labor, Dept of (DOL),Natl Institutes of Health (NIH),Office of Management & Budget (OMB),President of the U.S.,SENATE,Veterans Affairs, Dept of (VA) | 50000 | 0 | 0 | 2016-06-24T13:18:45.600000-04:00 |
