Kennedy Introduces Legislation That Would Alter Federal Financial Aid
The Legal Career Resources column is presented by LawCrossing, America's leading legal job search site dedicated to getting jobs for legal professionals.
On April 3 Senator Edward M. Kennedy (D-MA) introduced legislation that would make sweeping changes to federal financial aid. The bill, given the short name ''Strengthening Student Aid for All Act,'' is intended to ensure students have sufficient access to financial aid, in the forms of both grants and loans.
I had started my application with Law School Loans back in June and I thought I had completed it but apparently I had left off my loans. Thankfully Law School Loans contacted me because I was able to get my loan information in to them to complete the consolidation and lock in the pre July 1st interest rate.
