Support for restoration of Perkins Student Loan Program funding grows stronger
Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA) and Norm Coleman (R-MN) led a group of about 30 senators who urged the chairman and ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee to reinstate funding for the Perkins Student Loan Program in next year's budget proposal.
