Kind Supports Passage of Bipartisan Perkins Loan Extension in House | 2015-12-17 | 2015 | 2015-12 | Democrat | House | WI | Ron Kind | K000188 | kind.house.gov | legacy | La Crosse, WI Today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a bipartisan, 2 year extension of the Perkins Loan Program. Rep. Kind has been pushing his colleagues to extend the program since its expiration in September of this year. In Wisconsin's Third Congressional District we are home to fourteen colleges, technical colleges, and private universities and more than 71,000 undergraduate students, which makes affordable higher education a top priority. Today, I was pleased to join my colleagues in unanimously passing a 2-year extension to the Perkins Loan Program. Wisconsin students and families deserve to have access to affordable quality education, and I have been pushing my colleagues in Congress to extend this vital program, Rep. Kind said. Recently Rep. Kind has discussed the need to reauthorize the program with UW-Madison Chancellor Rebecca Blank and during a tour of Chippewa Valley Technical College. Additionally, in September he voted in favor of the Higher Education Extension Act of 2015, which would have extended the program without delay. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
