Ohio students and their families are struggling. In fact, Ohio ranks 49th in affordability of college. Sadly, this is a barrier many hard-working families cannot overcome. Bright young Ohioans are being shut out because college costs too much. Today, by cutting student loan rates in half, we are opening up important opportunities for thousands of young Ohioans and young people across the nation. Just in the first two years, this bill will save Ohio students an average of $2,230 and in four years $4,320. We should ease the burden on our working families. We should put our students in a position to succeed in school and beyond. This bill, which cuts student loan rates, does just that.
