Morehouse College Graduates’ Student Loans to Be Paid Off by Billionaire Robert F. Smith, who founded Vista Equity Partners and became the richest black man in America, said that he and his family would pay the Class of 2019’s debt.

Student loan game show host and actor Michael Torpey is “excited” about presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren’s (D-MA) proposal to cancel a broad swath of American student debt.

With over a trillion dollars of outstanding student loans hanging over borrowers’ heads, Torpey — who hosts a show called “Paid Off with Michael Torpey,” where contestants compete for money to pay off their debt — told Yahoo Finance’s On The Move that he was “excited by Senator Warren's plan” because “it attacks the cause of the problem that people that are struggling right now.”

En masse cancellation means that “we're taking care of the people that are out there having a hard time, and we're also trying to fund more of the public schools,” said Torpey.

The government sets the annual rates on those loans once a year, based on the 10-year Treasury note, which has also been on the decline.

The interest rate on new undergraduate Stafford loans will be 4.5% for the 2019-2020 academic year, down from 5% last year. For graduate students, Stafford loans will come with a 6% interest rate, compared with 6.6% now. Rates on Plus loans for graduate students and parents will fall to 7%, down from 7.6% last year.

In exchange for agreeing to work in low-income schools, aspiring teachers could get federal Teacher Education Assistance for College and Higher Education (TEACH) Grants from the department to help pay their way through college. But those grants were often unfairly turned into loans that teachers had to pay back.
In December, the Education Department proposed a fix. Now, that fix has been expanded, and thousands of more teachers are likely to get help. "We've put teachers who didn't deserve this stress, this pressure, this financial burden in a position that is frightening and confusing," says Education Department acting undersecretary and acting assistant secretary Diane Auer Jones. "I can't give them back those years, and I can't take away the gray hairs and I can't take away the stress. It seems like a small thing to do to say, 'I'm sorry,' but I'm very sorry. And we want to work to fix it and correct it.

This is a huge step for the teachers that we affected by this. To have a Grant turn into a loan is absurd and totally unfair! If you know someone that might be affected by this make sure they READ this so they can get back or be forgiven the money as they are entitled too!

Teachers Begin To See Unfair Student Loans Disappear The Department of Education is expanding a fix to its troubled TEACH Grant program, giving millions of dollars of grant money back to public school teachers working in the country's neediest schools.
