College tuition has been skyrocketing for decades, and no end is in sight. In the name of keeping college within reach of low-and middle-income families, the federal government provides many financial aid programs.

Reducing federal aid would force tuition down and stimulate increases in private-sector college assistance. Please join us for a briefing on how, with the Higher Education Act due to be reauthorized this year, Congress has the opportunity to help college-bound students by reducing federal tuition aid.
