Despite rising tuition costs in Colorado, Congressman Bob Beauprez voted in favor of a $12 billion cut to student loan programs and the Bush Administration's proposed 2007 budget is set to reduce key tuition assistance initiatives like Work-Study and Pell Grants that would deny thousands of students the assistance they need to pay for college.

Speak up for the students and families struggling to afford higher education by signing this petition urging our elected representatives to expand access to higher education by reducing interest on student loans and fully funding tuition assistance programs that allow students to attend college and contribute to our economy.
