Dear
Friend,
This is a challenging moment for students and young workers in New
Jersey. College has never been more crucial to our economy and to job
creation than it is today – but college also is more expensive now
than ever before.
As a longtime teacher, I have seen firsthand the power of higher education to transform lives, and I want to share with you the steps I am taking in Congress to make college more affordable:
Resources to Make College More Affordable
Recently, I joined officials from Rutgers and the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to talk with local students and parents about college aid opportunities. Among the resources we shared:
I am always happy to help you learn more about college affordability options or to help resolve problems with your student loans. Send a message at holt.house.gov/contact or call 1-87-RUSH-HOLT (1-877-874-4658).

As a longtime teacher, I have seen firsthand the power of higher education to transform lives, and I want to share with you the steps I am taking in Congress to make college more affordable:
-
Keeping College Loan Rates
Low. A few years ago, I helped write a law that cut student loan
interest rates from 6.8 to 3.4 percent, saving the average student
borrower more than $2,000. Recently, the new tea party members in Congress
sought to undo this rate cut, creating an unnecessary crisis as
students sought to plan for the year ahead. The good news is that I
helped reach a compromise to ensure that rates will remain low for at
least another year, helping 144,000 New Jersey students. Please know that
I am supporting legislation to make the rate cut permanent.
-
Helping Math and Science Teachers Afford
College. The TEACH Grant program, created by a law that I
helped write, provides up to $4,000 a year in grants – up to
$16,000 over four years – for students who commit to teaching math,
science, or foreign language for at least five years.
- Supporting Graduates Who Enter Public Service. Students who want to serve their communities as teachers, police officers, firefighters, and soldiers should not be prevented from doing so by college debt. A law that I helped write forgives student loan debt after 10 years for graduates who enter public service.
Resources to Make College More Affordable
Recently, I joined officials from Rutgers and the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority to talk with local students and parents about college aid opportunities. Among the resources we shared:
-
StudentAid.Ed.Gov is the Education Department’s official source for free
information on preparing for and funding education beyond high school.
- www.HESAA.Org, the New Jersey Higher Education Student Assistance Authority’s website, offers information on grants, scholarship, loans, and programs for veterans.
