Protect Access to Student Loan Support for Professionals

The U.S. Department of Education is collecting comments on proposed changes to federal student loan rules that will make it harder for early childhood professionals to afford the education they need to best support infants, toddlers, and families.

Edit our pre-written comment to tell the Department of Education to ensure that those pursuing advanced degrees that are essential to the early childhood workforce are eligible for full student loan support.

Customize your comment with 1-2 sentences about your experience after the first paragraph or elsewhere. Customized comments are more likely to be posted and considered. For example, you could start by explaining your role or relationship to babies, the degree you pursued (or are pursuing), your student loan experience, how this change would affect recruitment in your field, and/or — if you are a parent – the importance of having trained nurses, social workers, early interventionists, and other professionals supporting you and your child.
