Hillary Clinton plans on Monday to begin rolling out one of the biggest-ticket policy proposals of her presidential campaign, a $350 billion plan aimed at reining in the ever-growing cost of college and help millions of borrowers struggling to repay student loans manage their debt.
Drawing on many of the same ideas and advisers on which President Barack Obama built his college affordability agenda, Clinton’s proposals—to be formally unveiled at campaign stops in New Hampshire on Monday and throughout the rest of the week—include federal incentives for states to boost their spending on public higher education, options for students to graduate from state colleges and universities without taking out loans, and pushing for a program to help borrowers refinance existing debt first pitched by Obama.
