House GOP Bill Proposes Eliminating Subsidized Student Loan Interest Benefit by 2027
By
Adam S. Minsky
Summary
House Republicans have proposed a funding bill that would eliminate interest subsidies on undergraduate federal student loans (subsidized Stafford loans) starting in 2027. This change would make borrowing more expensive for students, as interest would accrue while they are still in school. The proposal follows other recent GOP and Trump administration student loan reforms that critics argue are making college increasingly unaffordable. The bill would leave only unsubsidized loans available, which accumulate interest from the time they are disbursed.
