Next Tuesday, July 21, 2009, the House Education and Labor Committee will consider H.R. 3221, the Student Aid and Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2009. The legislation is intended to boost Pell Grant scholarships, keep interest rates on federal loans affordable, and create a more reliable and effective financial aid system. The bill also provides long-term funding for school construction, modernization, and renovation projects, and includes a provision aimed at reducing classroom noise and improving the acoustical environment.
Please send a message to your U.S. Representative and ask for their support of this bill. For further information about H.R. 3221, please contact Neil Snyder, ASHA's Director of Federal Advocacy, at nsnyder@asha.org or by phone at 202-624-7750.
