Biden\u2019s plan is comprised of three main goals with multiple steps. The first goal is to improve student success by investing in community colleges and training. They will do this by:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Making community college or other higher-quality training programs free.<\/li><li>Create new grant programs to improve students\u2019 success.<\/li><li>Solving issues that keep students from graduating community college or work training.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Make a $50 billion dollar investment in workforce training, community college business partnerships, and apprenticeships.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Invest $8 billion dollars to improve community college facilities and technology.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The second goal is to strengthen college as a reliable option to the middle class. This goal will focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Doubling the maximum value of Pell grants to increase the financial support of low-income and middle-class individuals.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Make loan forgiveness work for public servants.<\/li><li>Stop for-profit programs from profiteering off students.<\/li><li>Stop private loan lenders from profiteering off students and allow individuals holding private loans to discharge them in bankruptcy.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The third and final goal is to support colleges and universities that are vital to their communities. This goal will focus on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Make Historically Black Colleges, Tribal Colleges, and Minority Serving Institutions, more affordable.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Build high tech labs, facilities, and digital infrastructure for HBCUs, TCUs, and MSIs.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Invest $10 million dollars increase the enrollment, retention, completion, and employment rates.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Triple capacity and student support.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Public Service Loan Forgiveness<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a college graduate who is having a rough time paying off their debts, then the Public Service Loan Forgiveness Program is for you. The PSLF Program will forgive the remaining balance on your Direct Loans if you meet these requirements.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Work for a government agency or for certain non-profit organizations.<\/li><li>Must be working full-time.<\/li><li>Have Direct Loans or consolidate other student loans.&nbsp;<\/li><li>Repaying your loans on a repayment plan.<\/li><li>Make 120 qualifying payments.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Payments cannot be made while loans are an in-school status, the grace period, deferment, or forbearance. Furthermore, working full-time in AmeriCorps or Peace Corps also counts as qualified employment. Labor unions, partisan political organizations, and for-profit organizations do not qualify for the PSLF Program. PSLF covers any loan under the William D. Ford Federal Direct Loan Program. However, Federal Perkins Loan and Federal Family Education Loan Program do not qualify for PSLF, but they may become eligible if you consolidate them into a Direct Consolidation Loan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:25px\">Dr. Wubah <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Wubah started his educational journal at the University of Cape Coast, Ghana.
