HARRISBURG, Feb. 6 – State Rep. Eddie Day Pashinski, D-Luzerne, introduced legislation today to provide a pathway for community college students at any of Pennsylvania’s 14 state community colleges to complete their degree or certificate program and land a steady job before having to begin repaying their tuition. “Student debt is crushing Pennsylvania’s higher education students and discouraging young people from pursuing a degree that can significantly increase their ability to find a good job,” Pashinski said. “Meanwhile, well-paying jobs go unfilled across the state because we don’t have enough workers with the education needed to fill those roles. My Delayed Payment Plan would help address each of these issues, allowing our young people to improve their career prospects while filling the family-sustaining jobs of today and tomorrow.” Once established, the Delayed Payment Plan program would pay up-front for the community college education for participating PA students who attend one of 14 state community colleges, pursue a degree in a high-need career path, and agrees to stay in Pennsylvania after graduating until their tuition is repaid. The agreement would require the graduate to pay back what they owe using a minimum of 2% of their future earnings within 10 years of graduating. Anyone with an outstanding balance following those 10 years would be required to pay a below-current market interest rate of 3.5% Read more
