So far, 6.9 million borrowers have enrolled in SAVE, and of those borrowers, 3.9 million have a $0 monthly payment. An estimated 23,100 students in Montana have enrolled.
The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday ruled that the Biden administration does not have the legal authority to enact a one-time student debt relief program, dealing a blow to the 40 million Americans who would have qualified for the program.
A bill that would expand a program aimed at addressing Montana’s teacher shortage by offering student loan help to incentivize new teachers to take open positions in hardest-hit schools is one step closer to becoming law.
