Eugene, OR \u2013 El Senador de Oreg\u00f3n Jeff Merkley se reuni\u00f3 hoy con estudiantes y profesores de la Universidad de Oreg\u00f3n en el campus para enfatizar la importancia de la educaci\u00f3n y la asequibilidad universitaria y resaltar los cambios recientes en los programas de pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles y el programa federal Pell Grant. Merkley pidi\u00f3 el apoyo de los programas de asequibilidad universitaria para que todos los que tengan la capacidad y el compromiso de asistir a la universidad tengan la oportunidad.<\/p>\n
\u201cEl costo de asistir a la universidad se ha disparado con los a\u00f1os. Si bien las mejoras recientes en los programas de pr\u00e9stamos y subvenciones para estudiantes son importantes, no voy a descansar hasta que los estudiantes puedan graduarse sin monta\u00f1as de deudas y cada estudiante que tenga el talento y la inclinaci\u00f3n pueda recibir una educaci\u00f3n universitaria\u201d, dijo Merkley. \u201cEstoy muy complacido de haber podido reunirme con los estudiantes en el campus hoy para hablar sobre lo que significan estos cambios para ellos y c\u00f3mo podemos continuar encontrando oportunidades para ayudar a los j\u00f3venes a obtener el t\u00edtulo universitario que los ayudar\u00e1 a alcanzar sus sue\u00f1os\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
El reciente proyecto de ley de reconciliaci\u00f3n de atenci\u00f3n m\u00e9dica hizo cambios en la forma en que el gobierno federal respalda los pr\u00e9stamos estudiantiles. Los cambios ahorrar\u00e1n miles de millones de d\u00f3lares al terminar con los subsidios a los bancos y otros terceros que otorgan pr\u00e9stamos con garant\u00eda federal. Adem\u00e1s, el proyecto de ley aumentar\u00e1 los pr\u00e9stamos directos a estudiantes del Departamento de Educaci\u00f3n. Esto permitir\u00e1 que m\u00e1s estudiantes utilicen los programas de pr\u00e9stamos y liberar\u00e1 fondos adicionales para las Becas Pell y la reducci\u00f3n del d\u00e9ficit. <\/p>\n
Los cambios en los programas de ayuda universitaria permitir\u00e1n que 100 estudiantes adicionales califiquen para una Beca Pell el pr\u00f3ximo a\u00f1o en la Universidad de Oreg\u00f3n. En general, la nueva ley proporcion\u00f3 $332 millones adicionales durante 10 a\u00f1os en becas federales Pell y College Access Challenge Grants y aument\u00f3 la concesi\u00f3n m\u00e1xima de becas Pell. <\/p>\n
La Senadora Merkley estuvo acompa\u00f1ada en el evento de hoy por la expresidenta de Estudiantes Asociados de la Universidad de Oreg\u00f3n (ASUO), Emma Kallaway, y los estudiantes universitarios Isauro Saldana y Jairo Castaneda, quienes compartieron sus historias personales sobre la importancia de las becas federales Pell para hacer que la universidad sea asequible y accesible. . El presidente Richard Lariviere y la directora de Ayuda Estudiantil, Elizabeth Bickford, tambi\u00e9n asistieron y hablaron sobre el programa PathwayOregon que ayuda a proporcionar fondos adicionales para los estudiantes que califican para las Becas Pell.<\/p>\n
\u201cNo puedo enfatizar cu\u00e1n importante es la educaci\u00f3n superior para nuestra econom\u00eda. Debemos asegurarnos de que los estudiantes de familias trabajadoras y de clase media tengan la oportunidad de salir adelante\u201d, dijo Merkley a los estudiantes. \u201cLos insto a continuar luchando para que la universidad sea m\u00e1s asequible y, por favor, sigan haciendo que se escuchen sus voces\u201d.<\/p><\/blockquote>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
