Young Invincibles Lauds New White House Report Highlighting Need to Lower College Costs
[WASHINGTON]–Earlier today, the White House released a new report called Making College More Affordable for Millions of Americans, which looks at steps the President and Congress have taken to make college more affordable and what work still remains. The report also includes a state-by-state breakdown on Pell grant availability and number of recipients. Jen Mishory, Executive Director of Young Invincibles, released the following statement on the report’s release:
“For many young people, a college education is the gateway to finding a job and achieving economic security. With the cost of college and student debt having risen dramatically for this generation, we are pleased to see the Administration calling for additional reforms like the America’s College Promise to decrease costs in our higher education system.”
